[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on a mid-sized flat corporate network?
Hello, all. I'm thinking of installing Asterisk at my company, and someone asked if our current network might not have some issues. I don't think so, but I'd like a vote of confidence to be sure. Our network has a gigabit switch, with 6 100 Mbit switches plugged into it, and roughly 150 ethernet connections of one sort or another. It's also flat: no routing happening at all inside the company. Without installing QoS, would this network be able to offer -- with reasonable reliability -- good quality internal calls? [I'm not worried about external, as that'll be POTS entirely.] Thanks! -Ken D'Ambrosio

Check your ping times throughout the day. A ping crossing through between 2 diferent fast ethernet switches, if you ever see pings above 10ms you might have some concern, but if you don't (and you most likely will not) you should be 100% as far as network bandwidth is concerned. Try checking out the effects of a large file copy to/from the same workstation you're pinging from. Marcelo Pacheco Em Ter 19 Out 2004 17:34, Ken D'Ambrosio escreveu:> Hello, all.
