Assuming I'm using a VOIP provider of some sort, what kind of bandwidth requirements / line should I expect to have in place? I currently have 8 traditional voice lines, and a FAX line that doubles as my DSL source. Ballpark, what do I need to have in place to move everything to asterisk?
- I recommend having a dedicated Linux box (I use debian + a couple of ethernet cards) which does Network Bridge + Asterisk + Traffic shaping.
- If your bandwith is short (for example 256kbit/s), install another asterisk box on a dedicated hosting facility with plenty of bandwith. Then buy some g.729 licenses so that you can use g.729 between your office behind DSL and your dedicated box.
- Keep your FAX line for faxes, emergencies, and failover.
