TOS values - differences/significance?

Curious about the TOS= value under the [general] stanza in the iax.conf file.

Default appears to be 0x1E.

Various (inconsistent) how-to indicate 0xBC.

Some reference to the values indicate:

10 = low delay

08 = high throughput

04 = high reliability

02 = ECT bit

01 = CE bit

or it could be word values:

lowdelay

throughput

reliability

mincost

none

What realistic, effective difference do these values make? Any conflicts with one node having ‘some’ values set and another having different values? Should we all just get along on ONE set of values?

It will only set the IP DSCP bits in the packets, it makes no difference to
asterisk.

This will only matter if you're on a network that has QoS policies running.
Once a packet hits an ISP the DSCP gets stripped off, so it only matters
inside your network. 99.9% of all users will see no benefit to this setting.
