VoIP QOS best practices

Mon Feb 10 18:52:03 UTC 2003

You're specifically talking about the g728a codec?

I typically have been using g711ulaw which is a 64k vs the g728a codec 
that is 8k.

Aside from that, Bill is quite correct here.  There's little need for 
QoS other than at the edge of ones network to insure that your circuit 
is not full of other streaming media applications that put your tcp 
performance in the toilet.
