Questions can lead to answers; it's all good.

The servers are on the same vlan. S4 core. We did a wireshark trace and the 
traffic had no anomalies that I am aware of. The vendor checked it as well and 
said there were none. CoS has been confirmed via a wireshark on a mirrored IP 
phone port. We use Cacti and NMS for monitoring our gear.

How did you apply the broadcast limit? Via policy?

Is the server on that same VLAN, i.e. do you have to route to get to the 
server?  Are you do you have an S series core? Have you put a port in that VLAN 
and run wireshark see if there are any traffic anomalies?  Have you done a port 
mirror on a phone to verify that to COS is being set?  How frequantly do you 
see the issue?  What tools do you have for monitoring?  We found a MIB for 
non-unicast traffic that has helped us track down a source for broadcast 
packets in the past.  We ended up applying a limit per port for broadcasts to 
stabilize our network.

Sorry for so many questions.  Feel free to call if you want to talk off line.  
I'm very curious.

No routing at the edge currently. The phones Mac auth and get the proper role, 
which assigns the vlan and CoS.

We just deployed an Avaya IP office system too.  I cannot confirm or deny 
whether it is necessary but we went with a seperate vlan per building for voip. 
 For us this means way less than a /24 per building.  Although that is how we 
setup our subnets.  We have NAC and we assign a Phones policy with a cos of 6 I 
believe.  No problems.  Are you routing at the edge?  How so you assign Cos?

I am wondering if anyone else who is running a Avaya IP Phones on their network 
have limited their voice vlan size? We are experiencing jitter on our phones 
and the CoS configuration on the network side looks fine. I am being told by a 
telecom vendor that the Avaya phones should reside on a subnet no larger than a 
/24. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
