Porn isn't zoom.....at least not yet.  Maybe that's the next new normal.

Netflix also isn't zoom.

So if 5 kids using Zoom on a 3mbps connection is the problem then what you say is true.  If it's 1 or 2 kids competing with other households' Netflix and Chill then QoS can address that.

If everything is Zoom, and you prioritize Zoom, you prioritize everything.  It’s like everyone is a winner, but if nobody loses, what’s the point?

I have observed that Zoom seems to use a little bit of TCP presumably a control channel and mostly UDP I think it’s on something like port 8801.  Not sure if you have 3 or 4 students in the same house and maybe 1 or 2 adults all Zooming, if additional ports get used, kind of like VoIP using 5060, 5061, 5062, etc.

Apparently they already set DSCP values to 56 for the audio and 40 for the video.

Trusting DSCP from the Internet carries other dangers though (like Apple thinks iPhone software updates need expedited forwarding).

    zoom and google classroom are surprisingly resilient on their own.
    i dont know if its a school setting, or a default, but it seems it
    auto scales. I would actually be concerned about prioritizing it
    causing it to ramp up resolutions, etc and cause more net demand.
    unless maybe find the absolute minimum requirements and QOS that
    as the min

        Is the a simple way to classify Zoom traffic for prioritizing
        it?  Like
        a layer7 match or matching a certain IP block.

        School is restarting soon (online) and I'm thinking this might
        be a hot
        item.
