on the smaller - normally the upstream. the thing that is not normally explained
is the contention ratio at the local exchange. here in the UK residential
broadband packages normally have a contention ratio of 50:1 so at peak you could
be fighting with 49 other users. Contention ratios for business DSL packages can
vary from 1:1 to typically 20:1.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

upstream with a 10:1 contention.I can normally get 20 x G729 channels

unbalanced downstream/upstream speeds but peer to peer stuff is a real
killer!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Monitoring tools........<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV>Hey all</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>What VoIP networking monitoring, asterisk monitoring tools would you
recommend? I started working with an IT company that insists on using DSL with a
Sonicwall router. The problem is that the clients are having sound problems. The
owner is convinced that it's the Asterisk box. In the 4 yrs I have been doing
this I have not had this bad a sound problem and it always came down to a bad
setup in the Cisco router. Asterisk just doesn't have sound problems so I am
going to have to convince him that its either the router or DSL. Has anyone used
DSL for SIP traffic? How about Sonicwall routers?</DIV>
