Quality of Service (QoS) is important when transmitting high bandwidth audio and
video information. QoS can be measured and guaranteed in terms of:
• Average delay between packets
• Variation in delay (jitter)
• Transmission error rate
DiffServ and Precedence are the two QoS methods supported by the Collaboration
Server. These methods differ in the way the packet’s priority is encoded in the packet
header.
The Collaboration Server’s implementation of QoS is defined per Network Service, not
per endpoint.
UDP Port from - to Displays the default settings for port numbers used for audio and
video.
To modify the number of UDP ports:
Enter the first and last port numbers in the range, and the range
must be 1024 ports.
If the network administrator does not specify an adequate port range, the system will accept the
settings and issue a warning. Calls will be rejected when the Collaboration Server’s ports are
exceeded.

Field Description
The routers must support QoS in order for IP packets to get higher priority.
