Re: VOIP in the presence of throttling

said by bbuchanan See Profile :

I'm confused too. The throttling of your BT traffic should not have any effect on your VoIP traffic. We've heard several people say that their regular traffic (ie web surfing, irc) is not being effected by the throttling.

It may have something to do with how you have things configured. Can you give a description of how you having all the boxes connected together?
As was said in a later post, the VOIP traffic is clearly not whitelisted by Bell. I ran an experiment: I initiated a call, which proceeded clear as a bell. Then I fired up my bit torrent client, capped to half of my 3 Mbps DSL link. The call could not proceed after this; there was only intermittent, unintelligible sound every 5 seconds or so.

The network configuration is a Linksys WRT54G with a VOnage PAP2 and an XP box.

Sounds like they must be playing with UDP traffic (the actual voice conversation). That really is bad news.
