There shouldn't be much that needs tuned, unless your network is
overloaded and dropping packets. If that's happening, then you're
going to need to dig in and take a look at QoS on Linux *and* on your
switches and routers, but odds are that won't be a problem on most
LANs. I mean, even G.711 is only ~80 kbps (including overhead), so you
should be able to run hundreds of simultaneous conversations on 100
Mbps Ethernet without running out of bandwidth.
Are you having problems? What are you seeing?
