Configuring QoS settings on the Sametime web client for OS X
Configure QoS (quality of service) settings on the IBM® Sametime® web client by editing the preferences.ini file that is installed with the WebPlayer plug-in.
Before you begin
This task applies only to the web client for OS X; the settings described here cannot be modified in Microsoft™ Windows™. For Windows, the Sametime web client uses the Windows Audio/Video QoS type; the corresponding DSCP type is 0x28. For details, see the Windows documentation on the QOS_TRAFFIC_TYPE enumeration.
About this task
In Sametime, you can configure QoS using DIFFSERV values, which are the decimal equivalents of hexadecimal DSCP codes. Use the following table to determine the DIFFSERV values that correspond to the DSCP codes that you want to use.
