DiffServ is used to apply different 'quality of service' tags to the voice (RTP) and control signal (RTCP) elements of a VoIP call. The IP Office system itself does not apply any different priority to data packets its receives or sends based on their tags. However, when being used in a network where QoS is being used for prioritization by other devices, the IP Office's settings should be set to match those expected for voice calls and their associated control
signalling.
