In practice most networks are not that busy, but it can happen. If
your phones, switch and NICs are VLAN capable you can setup a
dedicated VLAN for the voice traffic and ensure that it gets
priority.

Thanks for the info. We are experiencing issues with quality and
I'm trying
to smooth them out. Is there a way to determine the impact that is
being
caused by the local traffic? Monitoring tools that will show this
in report
form or realtime? Every day or so we get reports that there is a
lot of
problems for short bursts of time. I would like to be able to show
that the
local traffic is affecting this.
In my experience, for local LAN audio issues, duplex problems are the
problem, not LAN traffic.
Of course, if you are running Asterisk on your file server or
something
silly like that, all bets are off.
If this wasn't already obvious to everyone, especially newbies, this
means that it is imperative to connect your network using switches,
not hubs.
