[asterisk-users] OT: Best firmware for Linksys Router that is SIP AWARE
Hi, I am currently playing with DD-WRT and I like it. I am looking for something that is more SIP Aware. Anyone know one those that are out there ? Thanks.

I've been using dd-wrt in combination with various SIP ITSPs for several years and have had no problems - just add the necessary port forwards and a few traffic shaping rules and it works just fine. I do know that they (the dd-wrt people) have a voip edition of dd-wrt available. I'm not sure what additional functionality it has over the standard version, though. -erik ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Sure - I use the default HTB traffic scheduler. The number one tricky thing about traffic shaping that most people miss is that they don't set their uplink speed correctly. For 99% of the use cases out there, you have no control of your downlink speeds, so there's not a whole lot you can do for that - you really only have control of your uplink packets. So - do a bunch of speed tests and then set your uplink speed to about 80% of your max upload speed. That will ensure that there's always a bit of overhead and that your link itself will never be the uploade bottleneck. After doing this, just start classifying traffic. Here's a synopsis of the rules I use: - DNS - high priority - SIP - express priority - RTP - express priority - HTTP/https - bulk priority - (other p2p applications) - bulk priority Putting those rules in place should make a big difference. You can also specify a specific ethernet jack on the router that will get high priority if that would help in your setup.
