Thanks for the reply Greg... I sure didn't mean to imply that I thought this
was an issue with NuFone - I have been extremely happy and excited about the service and support. I'll echo the sentiment I believe bkw expressed - NUFONE ROCKS! That said, I'm just curious why a call would cause other traffic to slow down so much... I'm not running any other internet services (i.e. kazaa) just web surfing... One call over IAX to nufone causes web surfing to slow to the point that it is basically unusable while the call is up. All traffic is routed through a box running a 850mhz Duron w/ 128megs and the Asterisk box is a dedicated machine running at 166mhz w/ 50megs. All traffic is switched/100meg except for the NAT/firewall/DSL modem which is 10meg. So packets from desktop to NuFone have to travel the following path - desktop(SIP) -> router -> asterisk(SIP/IAX2) -> router -> NAT/firewall/DSL modem -> DSL -> NuFone(IAX2). If I run KSnuffle on the router I see about 40Kbytes/sec sustained on the eth0 interface that is handling all the traffic while the call is up. The * box and the desktop are on different subnets which is why everything has to traverse the router so much. thanks, dave >You may want to look into prioritizing voice packets over "data" packets. >Until you turn on some kind of traffic shaping dont "burn up your bandwidth" >while making calls.
