All I shared was:
https://mangolassi.it/topic/11896/qos-for-voip-is-not-the-big-deal-the-vendors-want-you-to-think
https://mangolassi.it/topic/11895/why-vlans-do-not-provide-effective-qos-for-voipWhere did you share them?
With my boss by email and that was his response, by email.
Oh, ha ha. He thinks that the LAN is saturated? Or he thinks that your outbound WAN is saturated?
He thinks that the LAN is saturated.
How the heck is that happening and why hasn't it been fixed? He actually thinks that your switching backplanes are beyond capacity but hasn't addressed it? How does anyone work?
We have added switches because the switches that were put in when I showed up were not performing what we needed and were difficult to administer. We since then upgraded to newer and faster switches and network performance has improved. However, he still insists on VLANing EVERYTHING!!
He can VLAN all he wants. But that does not change the fact that QoS on and entire VLAN is not correctly prioritizing the voisce traffic.
It is prioritizing all of the traffic on the VLAN. Which includes the broadcast traffic and dns and dhcp and sip as well as the rtp that actually carries the voice traffic.
It is a misconfiguration based on stated intent.
You boss is wrong. Feel free to send this to him.
Can't. Upvote. Enough.

Just caught up on SW for the day, one of the fastest catchups I've ever had after a day offline. It's as if no one was there. And quite a few posts that I stumbled on had zero replies after being up most of the day.

@NerdyDad How many phone calls are active when this happens?

And is the audio an issue bidirectionally or just in one direction? Is there QoS on the WAN?
-
I'm assuming that he knows that if this is happening it would be on extension to extension calls, not only on ones going to the outside.

Made this point to someone on SW today.
-
@scottalanmiller That's because I was not there
-
@scottalanmiller Right. With a gb network, you should be able to have at least a hundred calls

@momurda @scottalanmiller In the 2.5 years that I have been supporting this network, I have not had one complaint about call quality on extensions. If we do have complaints, it's on co ferenxe calls and is usually on a 3rd party bridge with sucky equipment.
Can't check QoS on the firewall because AT&T owns that right now.

Ha, that will do it. I was too busy to be there. It was eerily silent.

Sounds like an excuse that he didn't realize wasn't plausible.

@scottalanmiller I didn't miss much, only 4 posts since 4 hours ago. I was playing softball and then fireworks so it took a while.

I know, it's crazy. ML hit a record busy day and it's like SW didn't even exist. There are two threads going on now, both newbies talking to me. Not a single other person responding to them, so weird.
-
Except that you just did, ha ha.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah, I felt like he needed a push to know that is not the right direction. I am going to do my best to post more here. I am just probably water cooling here more than contributing so I feel like guilty lol...

Ha ha. It's been one heck of a day. I can't believe how busy it was. The posting went non-stop all night!

Just finished an article that is set for publication in two weeks.

Our Scale HC3 is on 7.3.19 now, so playing with some of the new features there.

About to go pick up @RestoronixDavid from the airport. He'll be back here in Dallas for the holiday weekend.

Cool, tell him that we said hello.
