asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Firewall will definately increase jitters inyourvoice conversation

Wiley is definitely right. It would be dangerous not to have a firewall
for security reasons.

Lokesh,

While adding a firewall may add a tiny bit of latency (non-noticeable by
the way) it in no way means you are gonna get jitter.  An over utilized
data line might cause that but a firewall in and of itself will not.  I
use a Pix to route my VoIP to an ITSP and I could not be happier.  To
say that using a firewall causes high latency is incorrect.

Thanks,
Wiley

Hi,

If you will put firewall, then i think you will get high latency and
consequently you will hear voice jitter in your conversation. so avoid
putting firewall.

That's a crack of crap sold by the marketing (not sales) people selling
firewalls. "If" you know what you're doing, one can very easily
secure any
linux system to function on the Internet (etc) without a firewall. It all
depends on your level of knowledge/skills on how to disable those items
that are not really needed in your environment. Start with a 'netstat
-a'
to identify those ports that are listening, and shut those items down that
you don't want exposed.

You "can" do the same for any MS system as well.
