Hi all!

I'm investigating the possibility of using Asterisk as much for internal
communication in an office as between offices and I would like to know
what considerations you could comment to me being based on the
experience that you have had.

A priori two things come to my mind:

* As to network topology, is advisable to have switches and
  dedicated networks for to use with the extensions?  

* Is advisable to have a dedicated Internet connection for
  intercommunication between the different offices? I imagine that yes,
  since of another way the VoIP traffic would have to compete with the
  rest and in that case we would require to apply some additional
  technique of QoS. In this point also I would include the optimal
  bandwidth that would have to have the dedicated link, for the case of
  using something of this type.

Perhaps there is some other interesting questions that also it is
necessary to consider.

In order to give more additional information, the Internet connection
between the different offices is made at the moment through two links of
2 Mbps, with load balance (one of fiber and another one of microwaves).
The amount of extensions in one of the offices would be approximately of
50, whereas in the other there would be approximately about 80
extensions.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel
