            You need Skype clients to set a static port. It will switch over to another port if the port you set is blocked so make sure to allow the traffic.

            In the traffic shaping section for VoIP select Asterisk and point it to the client IPs.

            You could have found all this information by simply using the search tool.

              The difficulty here is capturing the traffic you want to prioritise, particularly Skype traffic which can be on any random high port. Even if you've set it to use a static port that only counts for incoming traffic. If your clients are using dynamic IPs then you can't use that to direct traffic either.
              I believe you can do it using the Layer7 filter but I've not tried that myself. For example:
