[Asterisk-Users] Lower cost router suitable for VOIP ?

[Marconi Rivello]

Hi,

I believe what you're looking for is QoS. I didn't mess around with it
yet... But I know you can setup a cheap linux router with it, so your
VoIP traffic will get more priority.

Here's an idea: setup one linux box as a router, with 1 ethernet for
inside voip, another one for the rest, and the last one to the outside
world. I'm sure you'll find the necessary tools for linux QoS.

Maybe you could have only one inside ethernet connection, and the QoS
thing will let the voip traffic pass with higher priority, but I don't
really know about that. The 2 inside ethernet setup sounds easier to
configure...

Hope it helps...
Marconi.

This wiki page has some information on routers that support VOIP:

Hi,

we're testing Asterisk 1  RC 2 behind ordinary router and NAT. Since we're
sharing network with web server it seems like voip packets are not coming
through fast enough (Digium demo dies after few seconds...). It's the same
if I make direct calls (passing Asterisk) so we conclude it's network
problem - it also work normally outside our router...

I wonder what solutions can we use to give voice packets higher priority.
I'm avare of VOIP routers, but they are pricey. Can some of common routers
help, or maybe implementing router on another simple Linux box?

Any advice, pointers to more info ?
How to trace network and debug Asterisk in convenient way ?

Thanks in advance,

Robert Rozman
