[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk, 2 x network interfaces and traffic shaping on same box?

[Mike Dent]

Hi,
just suppose you have a small LAN in an office with an external ADSL connection.
Is there a problem by dual homing the Asterisk box (one interface on
the local LAN and
the other on the ADSL side). Then making all local traffic heading off
site to go via
the Asterisk box. On this box you run some kind of traffic shaping and firewall?

This would then help you prioritise external VOIP traffic over other
traffic leaving/entering the network?

Obviously this would not be an ideal setup in a large/critical
environment but may be a nice
and neat solution for a small office?

Comments?

thanks
Mike
