RE: run VoIP on a frame network at BIR instead of [7:55833]

John,
Yes, and No.  We still run IPX over our network (don't ask).

 Depends on the frame switch, I think.
 I asked our telco about this as well (quite a while ago), and
 they said that
 on entry to the cloud, they automatically reset any DE bits
 set. So either
 way, your scheme isn't likely to work, but how much of a
 negative effect it
 has will depend on whether your telco drops entering DE packets
 or just
 resets the DE bits.

   switches drop only the pre-marked DE data packets (by the

   congestion occurred and NOT drop any voice packets?  I
  haven't found any
   Cisco links that addressed QOS in this fashion.  Any links
 on
  this topic

   The objective is to squeeze more bandwidth (BIR vs CIR) out

Hi Jenny,

Is your carrier Telstra ?

Do you use Telstra TPIPS for your cloud/next hop router ?
