similar to: looking for input on broadband router with QoS and VPN support

Bob, Have you looked at any of the products by Zyxel? With QOS, VPN & wireless support they have: For ADSL: Prestige 652HW Firewall/Router: Zywall 10W & 30W I'll be honest, I havn't used any of these yet. We were looking for similar products to suuport our VOIP installs. We just ordered some demo units from Zyxel, we shoul have them later this week. I'll let you know

I just bought two new Linksys WRT54G routers. Sveasoft has loaded Linux on this router and included a bunch of Linux tools, one of which is Bandwidth Management. The QoS aspect of this is supposed to be much more granular than the previous solution (Wonder Shaper). I have not been able to find any suggestions for how to impliment QoS (Bandwidth Management) using the web interface of Alchemy.

I have multiple locations running * where all the phone are on their own lan and all the data is on a separate lan. The problem is they are sharing the same dsl connection. The locations are IAX2 trunked together, but it only takes one data down/up load to just kill the voice. What I am looking for is a small switch with QoS that I can stick in ahead of the dsl modem. Plug in one connection from

As seen on my post at: http://www.sveasoft.com/modules/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=28112#28112 This works very well... It does NOT work with stable 4.0! sveasoft will be issuing a bug fix for this (4.1) in the near future. Final Rev of working script w/ asterisk support I'm not going to run alchemy on production machines until it is stablish. Remember to set your uplink properly and to set

Greetings list, Thanks to all who replied to my thread a few days ago "SIP devices with packet loss tolerance". One of the suggestions that came out of that thread was to replace routers at users' premises with ones that support QoS. I've used m0n0wall's QoS in the past with reasonable success, but it's quite a bulky and complex setup for deploying to remote sites which

Hi, I'm looking for opinions on the "best value" router to use for home offices. It should work for a scenario in which there are 3 computers and 2 SIP phones, handling QoS so that the phones always have higher priority traffic than the PCs. (and not rely on the phones to do the QoS because some PCs may not be connected to the phones). QoS could be based on destination and source

I've been asked to assess the cost of implementing Asterisk with a single T1 line in one of our offices. I've had plenty of experience w/ TDM400 cards, but T1 is new for me so a couple of questions: 1) Will I need a digital or analogue interface card? I expect digital is the answer, but the Digium web site said something about analogue cards being able to support "provider T1

Hello everyone.... Searching the archives and google always comes up with entries regarding the "dyn" dns option in the 7960, but I can't find answers to my specific question.... My 7960 is connected via cable modem and is NAT'ed (everything is working fine). On the 7960 under SIP configuration\NAT Address I have the public IP of my cable connection. Comcast gives me a

I have a SIP trunk to Broadvoice. My Asterisk box (1.4.13) is on public addresses behind a firewall. Originally it was behind a Linksys WRT54G running sveasoft. Sveasoft really can't NOT do NAT even when you turn it off. My Asterisk box is defined as the DMZ box to Sveasoft and it seemed like it was leaving all packets alone. Now I switch to a Centos-based firewall configured with

I am unable to get a my Draytek working with our Asterisk server. I can make/recieve calls but get no audio. I have tried the various codecs at the Vigor end but still getting nothing. I looked at sip debug (below) but am new to Asterisk and don't really know what I am looking for. Asterisk works fine with XLITE so I know my installation is ok. Sip read: INVITE

Did anyone see the article? It''s the first time I really noticed that these little Linksys routers are such a fully fledged linux machine with a decent processor and a replacable firmware. I am now itching to get one to replace the multipurpose firewall desktop machine. Has anyone experimented with the current state of the firmware and how advanced you can get with tc rules? For

Hi all, I finally got my IPSec tunnel from my Fedora firewall system (running Shorewall 4.0.6) to a remote Draytek Router up-and-running, but I''m having difficulties directing traffic through the tunnel. From the output of "racoon -F -f racoon.conf" and the connection status page of the Draytek I can tell the tunnel is UP, but ping and traceroute requests to several hosts

Hi, we're testing Asterisk 1 RC 2 behind ordinary router and NAT. Since we're sharing network with web server it seems like voip packets are not coming through fast enough (Digium demo dies after few seconds...). It's the same if I make direct calls (passing Asterisk) so we conclude it's network problem - it also work normally outside our router... I wonder what solutions can we

Hi, Ok.. I know dual NAT is a problem for SIP.. ie. UA - NAT - Internet - NAT - Asterisk What about Multi-NAT where a dedicated public IP is mapped to the private IP of the asterisk box.. ie UA - NAT - Internet - Multi-NAT - Asterisk http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_multinat.html Anyone tried it? Thanks..

One of our clients has a Draytek Vigor 2920- their natted Snom phones behind it are registered to an Asterisk 1.4 server on an external public IP. I've set QOS, bandwidth management and turned off the SIP ALG via telnet but I'm still having some problems with some of the phones losing registration if Asterisk is restarted. I can see the phones sending SIP REGISTER messages, but they

Hi, Does anybody else have problems like this. I'm in the UK with a 1mb ADSL service from Eclipse. I have a Draytek Vigour 2600 ADSL router. My * box is configured with a public IP address which is presented on one of the switch ports on the rear of the router. When there is some SIP activity, incoming mainly, towards my * box, the router will lockup after a short period?! I've tried

Hello - I've been running Asterisk (quite happily!) for several years now using a Digium TDM400P card in an old Linux box (P4 1.6 w/ 256MB RAM). I'm also running another old PC running m0n0wall as a firewall. Between these two boxes, that run 24x7, I'm drawing a lot more power than needed and hoping to make a dent in my monthly electric bill by consolidating the two into a single box

I'm in conversation with Draytek's pre-sales dept.............. Here's the most recent reply: <Hello, We really don't know of anyone who has run an Asterisk server on a Vigor2900. There are doubtless people around, but it's relatively rare. Most people don't run SIP servers. Regards,> All I want to know is, if I buy one of these routers, will it break my setup or
