I haven't had any specific problems with Zoom....but looking at a situation for helping a local school district.

I thought it might be useful to say that I *could* prioritize Zoom.  Whether or not I would really need to is less important than whether I can give them warm and fuzzy feelings about it.

    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

        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.
