\subsubsection{Introduction}
-Asterisk support different QoS settings on application level on various protocol
-on any of signaling and media. Type of Service (TOS) byte can be set on
-outgoing IP packets for various protocols. The TOS byte is used by the network
-to provide some level of Quality of Service (QoS) even if the network is
-congested with other traffic.

-used VoIP protocols. It is useful when you are working in switched environment.

-In table behind shown all voice channels and other modules of asterisk, that
-support QoS settings for network traffic and type of traffic which can have
-QoS settings.

+traffic for which each module can support setting QoS settings.
