Aug 12, 2018 Re: QoS for Skype For Business Lee Nov 26, 2015 1:01 AM ( in response to sg4rb0sss ) On the Lync deployment you should be able to specify DSCP values for the relevant traffic - you would then just create your QoS policy to match the DSCP values. Setting the DSCP marking for IP Phones will help with Quality of Service tagging but for QoS you also need to ensure network is configured end to end to honour the IP markings. Connect to tenant via PowerShell –. Note: All mobility clients, like iOS, Android, Windows, Skype for Business/ Lync 2013 Mobility clients will not utilize this QoS capability as it is only applicable to Skype for Business Windows and Skype for Business for Mac clients and IP phone devices which are registered directly to an internal Skype for Business / Lync pool Server on managed networks; QoS is not applicable for traffic.
Skype For Business Mac Client Connectivity
Like you I could not find any documentation on how to do this for Mac clients. While you can configure the server side, and while the network switches etc.
Can match this the clients Mac and Windows have to be told to individually to use only the network ports that have been configured for QoS. Normally both the Mac and Windows clients use a large range of ports. For Windows I believe this is done via a PowerShell command but of course this does not exist on a Mac. My best suggestion would be to look at any Skype for Business plist files to see if they have any similar entries.

Sadly Microsoft have an appallingly bad and long history of very poorly 'porting' their Windows apps to the Mac and often according to widely held opinion deliberately cripple the Mac versions. While Adobe have copied many of Microsoft worst practices this at least is one Adobe are generally not guilty of. I am not sure why they chose to use such a wide range of ports in the first place except to frustrate firewall rules.
If they had stuck to a handful of well-defined ports then this problem would have never arisen. Hi JimmyCMPIT. I've posted he same question in a MS forum as to see if the Mac S4B supports DSCP marking or not.
I didn't intend my question to read as 'Can Microsoft GPO apply to Macs' as I know that's not possible. The intention of the post was to see if MacOS can label Skype network traffic with DSCP markings to get the same result as Windows GPOs can achieve. My post here is because Skype sits on top of the MacOS network layer where QoS would be applied.

The question could equally apply to Jabber or Facetime so is really 'How does MacOS deal with QoS?' With a focus on the Skype for Business client.
