Re: Re: Are you interested in VoIP ?



The only thing I would ask about QOS is although you can set it for the LAN
YOU have control of, what about the WAN that you dont (the internet). Do
you
not need all the devices/routers from you to your other IP phone (somewhere
out there) to support QOS? otherwise it just gets bungled with the rest of
the normal traffic and looses the QOS status?

Also - whats to stop other people setting QOS higher for ALL there traffic
thus abusing the system?

Thoughts?
Wayne.
