my apologies for using a previous thread. i was in a hurry when i did
it and didn't consider that some would be using threaded views.

One problem a colleague and I discussed moments ago is the system may
preform "better" if we're using a Layer 3 switch. Which I would like
anyway, but isn't very cost effective for an office with 10 phones and 5
workstations. A L3 switch would be almost half, if not more, the total
cost of the project build. I guess it also depends on the amount of
traffic and calls made from the office. But, other than the 4 sales
people, I don't imagine the office having a high volume of traffic in
and out. It is a small publishing house not a call center or support
company. The most they use the phone system for, other than selling
ads, is talking to each other and calling writers.
Layer-3 switching won't add any value unless your network is rather
large and you already have a need to segment it into broadcast domains.
I do a fair amount of professional network performance work and we've
actually been involved with a flat (layer-2 only) switched network
that has over 900 active non-voip devices. Adding a couple of voip
devices (for testing only) into the mix resulted in excellent quality.
But, all of that depends upon how well managed the network is in the
first place.
