Mark, I saw something similar to this on a customer's pilot of AVVID. The symptoms were such that if a call between IP phones was established prior to the traffic flood, everything worked just fine. If the traffic flood came first, the destination IP phone rang, but no voice packets were received by either phone, period. And, this was in a pure LAN environment! Looking at the display on the 7960s, we discovered that not one UDP packet was arriving at either phone! (The fact that the destination phone rang would seem to indicate that TCP traffic was arriving OK). Unfortunately there was no sniffer available to capture the traffic to dissect the problem. The fix was to change the parameters on the traffic generator. The customer was using Network Observer. It was a new tool for them. The traffic being generated was designated as "raw" ethernet frames. As soon as the traffic type was changed to "TCP" or any other selection, the problem disappeared. What are you using to saturate the WAN link? What I saw might trigger some observation in your network. Bruce
