Are you realy shure you want to do that?
I mean _existing_ infra (with probably a number of other (non-voip)
machines connected to it?

Even on a 100Mbps network, if one of the machines on the same network is
doing a rsync-job (no saturation), I notice a drop in voip-quality.

Adding voip to existing infra might work, if your network is good
enough, like Gb with enough unused bandwith and low latency. Or if you
can tell complaining users, that it is a temporary solution.
