      I setup PRIQ traffic shaping using the Wizard with all our Ringcentral devices set into the RingCentral alias. No bandwidth limits or anything set, I just wanted it to prioritize RingCentral Traffic over normal traffic.

      I made some floating rules to properly place the VOIP traffic into the right queues.

      But was wondering why the Traffic Shaper generated rule is there (The DiffServ/Lowdelay/Upload rule)?

      Should I be deleting it?.

      If I'm interpreting that rule correctly it is placing any traffic into the qVOIP queue? (Isn't that something I don't want? Why traffic shape if everything is priority 7)
      Was this rule just auto-created and intended for the user to modify it? I was reading other people's guides and they Did not have this rule created automatically for them.

        You definitely need to delete that last rule.  Also, these phones typically use HTTP to talk to their servers, so you should probably switch the protocol from UDP to TCP/UDP.

        We just left RingCentral for FluentStream this week, strangely enough.

          Ah thank you.

          I was trying to make sense of why such a broad rule was created by the wizard.
