Re: [asterisk-users] SIP asterisk over Linksys VPN
On a side note with this topic. I recently ran into problems hosting an Asterisk box behind a Linksys 4 port Cable/DSL router, the problem was that SIP realy only worked on it for the first 2-3 minutes. After 2-3 hours of playing around and blaming the remote routers, I decided to check the latest firmwares for the router at the Asterisk location. The release notes on the last firmware had 2 or maybe 3 issues fixed, one of them was problems with sip. On 8/16/06, Raymond McKay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: phones.

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP asterisk over Linksys VPN
I usually run the RV series of router for this. Much better thoughourput on the VPN. Remember these low end devices can usually only handle about 1Mbps - 3Mbps of encryption max depending on the unit. Other than that, I have had up to 8 behind a VPN such as this. I do generally recommend though that a small appliance style asterisk box sit on any side of a remote connection with a 1 port FXO card installed for timing, emergency 911 capability, and trucking and jitterbuffer support over IAX2. This, IMHO, tends to provide for better reliability. I generally recommend some kind of HDD less Compact Flash based system. Less mechanicals to break and you can pick one up generally for $600-$800 with the digium card depending on speed and number of phones to support.

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP asterisk over Linksys VPN
I tried to do sip over vpn with with a linksys router handle just one phone. When I tried it, it worked fine. Once i shipped it out we had all types of problems. at first it was fine, then 1 out of 5 calls would sound like cell phones. Now I can call him be he can't hear anything. Everything else works fine through the vpn. Most importantly, I can't trouble shoot correctly. I finally gave up and got him callvantage. Now all I have to worry about is forwarding a DID number.

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP asterisk over Linksys VPN
Thanks for your answer, thruoughput was the only thing I was realy worried about. After I posted the question I decided that this one might be best mainly because of the QoS support it has: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2childpagename=US%2FLayoutcid=1150490914408pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper as well as the price being quite reasonable. Have you tried that one before? Thank you On 8/16/06, Raymond McKay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I usually run the RV series of router for this. Much better thoughourput on the VPN.
