RE: Matching IP Precedence in VoIP ACLs

A IP phone sends voice @ 5 and control (DTMF) @ 4, and in a voip dial
peer you should always specify the precedence of 5. I use access-lists
to match precedence of 4 and 5 all the time and it works great.

Not all voice traffic carries a precedence of 5. Therefore, the first
access control list is a better choice.

Hier,

Searching through the archives of this group and various docs I've
always come across this ACL for matching VoIP traffic:

 access-list 101 permit udp any any range 16384 32767

My question is why don't people use this instead:

 access-list 101 permit udp any any range 16384 32767 precedence
critical ?

IP Precedence 5 is 'critical' and my understanding is that VoIP
appliances like IP Phones transmit IP with that precedence. Is this a
fair question to ask a proctor or should we know this before walking
into the exam?

TIA,

-- Umair
