I'm looking for any pros/cons of running an Asterisk based PBX over a metro ethernet pipe. The system will have about 40 handsets and 6 DIDs. Kind Regards, Chris

A metro Ethernet connection should give you LAN-like packet delivery and reliability, so the voice quality should be perfect. Just make sure it has a good SLA that covers jitter and latency. Cons? Cost is the only one I can think of. All of our enterprise customers are on WiMAX or microwave MPLS connections and call quality is 100% good. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In theory, if it's not oversold or mismanaged, MetroE Service should be functionally the same as a long ethernet cable. -- Looking for (employment|contract) work in the Internet industry, preferrably working remotely.
