I'm game. If I can fit it into my schedule. A quickie class on how to
use "tc" in the world of VoIP... and other handy places.

Learning "tc" is the next natural jump for those folks playing with and
deploying Asterisk. It lets you setup Prioritization based on
destination, source, TOS bit, etc. You can also setup Classed Based
Queueing and rate-limits.

Got a bandwidth hog in your office... rate-limit them at the firewall. 

Too many folks listening to Internet Radio? Don't block it, drop it to
such low priority that it  so.nds lik. th.s ... (Bwaa HaHahaha)
