Re: Choppy VOIP? said by Nick:
Even if one does their own QoS locally any respectable ISP will ignore the QoS information on the core level.
That is...Vonage voice packets from Vonage customer going over Cox or Time Warner will not be treated any differently through their routers than say a data packet.
You are correct but if you throttle back bandwidth hogs on your local LAN things work great. Trust me...I've been there.
Before the "in-house" bandwidth management I could never flood the upstream(IE:uploading large emails with attachments) and talk on the VOIP at the same time. Now with the bandwidth managemnet I can flood the upstream and downstream at the same time. The VOIP never misses a beat and also the full time snappy web browsing is nice too during the "floods". |
