VOIP QoS

Question

Hi, 
 I am really confused about how to do this on XG. I can go to Traffic Shaping and create my policy and attach it to my rule or service - but then in Traffic Shaping Service there is a setting "Optimize for real-time (VoIP)" that is Enabled by default. 
 Does this just mean real-time traffic is automatically optimised and I don't have to do anything?

Hi, 
 you will also need to add a QOS to your WAN link so that the system has something to work with.

Hi, 
 Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community. 
 When enabled this will prioritize real time traffic.For further details you may see the following.

Optimize for real-time (VoIP) : 
 
 Disable : Applies the guaranteed traffic shaping policies first. Prioritizes real-time traffic only for the remaining bandwidth. 
 Enable : Always prioritizes real-time traffic, such as VoIP and streaming media.
