That is a different problem entirely, and as you say, the snom cannot
do anything about a remote bottleneck (except perhaps theough QoS and
TOS flags in the data it sends).

The snom does seem to manage its two local ports properly though but
this cannot be hard. Worst case is that the snom needs about 128Kb/s -
Not hard on a 100Mb/s full duplex connection :)

Dovid - Have you identified where the bottleneck is in this case? You
do not specify as far as I can see. Is the VoIP call using the
internet, or is it local?
