AlistairKeay1 - This is referencing QOS data through Skype for Business server/service, as for clients on Windows. Be sure that you have enabled QOS for non-Windows platforms as documented in this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204750(v=ocs.15).aspx

Thanks for the reply. Two follow up items

1. Are you saying if Set-CsMediaConfiguration -EnableQoS $True, the MAC client will mark.

The actual DSCP value coming from Set-CsUCPhoneConfiguration -VoiceDiffServTag 46

2. As far as I was aware with SFB Online, the ability to change EnableQoS setting isn't possible. Certainly set-CSmediaconfigration is an on premise only command. Any advice for online deployments?

  Alistair Keay - Sorry for the delay in responding. I've had various discussions with our engineering team to get the full picture on the QoS support. Here is the full story, with links to documentation:
  
  On-premises customers need to enable QoS marking for Mac and other non-Windows platforms by setting the EnableQoS property as documented here in these topics:
  
  Plan network requirements for Skype for Business 2015
  
  Enabling QoS in Lync Server 2013 for devices that are not based on Windows
  
  Online customers should already have this property enabled automatically, so no action is needed to enable marking.
  
  When the app installed and EnableQoS property enabled (as needed), audio and video network traffic will be marked with the DSCP values documented here: ExpressRoute and QoS in Skype for Business Online. Note that only voice and video traffic are marked from Mac apps, and the DSCP values are not customizable.
