Hi,
I'm looking for opinions on the "best value" router to use for home
offices. It should work for a scenario in which there are 3 computers
and 2 SIP phones, handling QoS so that the phones always have higher
priority traffic than the PCs. (and not rely on the phones to do the
QoS because some PCs may not be connected to the phones).
QoS could be based on destination and source IP (i.e. an Asterisk
server) or MAC address of the phones. Ideally with PoE, but at this
point it's just a bonus.
What are people on this list using? I've found that the mention QoS
on a box doesn't guarantee any real QoS functionality.
QoS on the router will only guarantee your phone traffic gets higher
priority than other (web, mail etc..) however once the bits leave your
router any QoS is essentially lost as the call traverses the internet.
Having QoS on your router is valuable to prevent some large download
from buggering your calls though.
