Hi all,

I must check if our network is ready for VOIP.

Thx

If you are planning a full deployment of VoIP, in addition to verifying the equipment and software list, Id recommend doing end-to-end testing ... even if you control the entire network.

Agilent has a 'VoIP Quality Tester" that will give a full analysis of the endpoints. Buy one or rent one (or get a consultant that has one) .. having the right hardware/software is only the starting point; optimizing the overall network is probably going to be necessary ... lots of tweaking configs, routes, and loads.

I'd also recommend some serious prototype and piloting.

Good Luck

Scott
