+When QoS is running, and FreshTomato is routing packets, this menu displays a table containing:
-  * A list of all active TCP and UDP connections managed by the router
-  * Each connection's source and destination IP address and ports
-  * The QoS class currently applied to each connection
-  * The rule that triggered those class applications
-  * The amount of data transmitted and received by each connection

 ===== QoS Details Notes =====
-The information on this menu is useful for verifying that QoS is working correctly on your network.
+The information on this menu is useful for verifying that QoS is working correctly.
-For example, you could:
+ \\
-  - Place a VoIP call from a phone on your network
+For example, as a series or troubleshooting steps, you might:
-  - Find connections originating from your phone's local IP address (under **Source IP**)
-  - Watch the data transfer amounts climb to verify the VoIP connection
-  - Verify that connection is properly classified in QoS as "VOIP/Game".
-If that connection displays as "P2P/Bulk", you might try to use the protocol and port information to create a working rule to catch that traffic and classify it as VoIP.  Alternatively, if those are too random, you could search the Internet for information to help you create an L7 filter for it (in Access Restrictions).
