[Asterisk-Users] Residential router w/ QoS support?

[Michael Graves]

Thilo,

I wasn't too sure about the packet based prioritization so I stuck with
the physical port based model. That is, I made port 1 high priority all
the time, then plugged my * sever into that port. Actually, that
segment has all the ip phones and nothing else. 

The problem I had initally with my Vonage installation (now defunct in
favour of VocePulse Connect) was that FTP'ing large amounts of data
would kill voice line separate segments, and assigning the VOIP segment
priority took care of it entirely. I don't have so many devices around
that making the separate segment was an issue.
