IP telephony works alright if you take the neccessary precautions for
performance
management, monitoring, rate-limiting unwanted traffic, etc. which you
should do
anyway. Most organisations have gotten along and are acting in reactive
mode
whenever new "threats" are "discovered".
Most problems with IP telephony come from the "router people" not talking
to the "firewall people" and both of them not talking to the "telephone
people".
If you can get those lines working, you´ll likely to succeed. If you don´t,
go with the traditional way, because then you don´t have to make the people
communicate.
