Configuring Gateway Settings
In the For bonded calls, allow downspeeding down to n B channels field, choose the minimum
Step 6
number of B channels that must be available before the gateway attempts to reconnect a video call.
Configuring Quality of Service Settings
You can configure the Cisco IPVC 3500 Series Gateway to add a Quality of Service (QoS) IP
precedence code in the IP header of outbound packets on the IP network. Routers on the network that
support this method can give precedence to such coded packets and facilitate the transmission of the
packets more efficiently. You can set priority levels on the gateway for voice calls, video calls, or both.
The Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header contains eight bits and indicates the three abstract
quality of service parameters:
•
•
•
You can use the abstract parameters to choose the actual service parameters when transmitting a
datagram through a particular network. The abstract parameters represent the three-way trade off
between low delay, high throughput, and high reliability. Increasing the performance of one of the
parameters can result in reduced performance of the other two. The TOS field in the IP header is shown
in

The function of each bit of the TOS field is as follows:
