voip on Bay/Nortel ARN w/ BayRS 14.0 seanfulton 07-19-2005

I've got a Nortel ARN that has worked fine for 10 years, most recently
on BayRS 13.2. We subscribed to Vonage and installed four VOIP
adapters on our network and now have problems.

Basically, voice calls are fine so long as no traffic goes over the
link. If you initiate the call, then, for example, begin an FTP
download over the T1 link, the phone call immediately goes garbled
and is hardly usable.

I upgraded the router to 14.0 and enabled both DiffServ and RSVP, but
do not know how to use them properly.

Our support contract has run out and I'm investigating getting a
renewal so I can download the latest BayRS but I'm wondering if this
will solve the problem or if there is something else I can do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I created the filter exactly as you describe and it seemed to help

quite a bit. Only problem that I can detect is if I do a big FTP

download (and this is a full T1), it still garbles the call, although

not as badly.



I used the bandwidth meter Vonage has on their site and during idle

times, it says I have 1.4-1.5 Mbps. During the FTP, that drops to

394K or so. Still plenty of bandwidth for the call, so I'm wondering

if I also need a filter to drop FTP to a lower priority or if this is

just as good sa it gets.

Part of the issue here is that you can't control how inbound (to you)
packets queue up from your ISP router to you - you can only control
traffic after it hits your ARN.

Giving FTP lower prioity may help. Also, for the protocol priority
interface setup, I set the queue distibution in a REALLY steep curve -
95% to the high queue, 4% to the med queue and 1% to the low queue.
Also, enable the "dequeue at line rate". That seems to minimze network
jitter in my experience.
