I've got myself a sweet Sipura SPA-2100 but even though it has built-in QoS routing that seems to perform superbly (http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2005/06/22/review_spa2100/page4.html) I prefer to place it behind my LEAF firewall so as to: - learn QoS - keep my LEAF unit as the PPPoE login unit, since I can get superb debugging info from it and I recently needed such debugging.
My setup is BuC v2.3 with eth0=net, eth1=LAN, eth2=DMZ (where I'd place the Sipura). My DSL pipe is 3000/800. The box is a P-75 (is this enough horsepower for implementing QoS? I'd have usually one [maybe sometimes two] G.711 streams [~100 kbit/s per stream]). So ... am I a masochist for wanting to delve into QoS (since I can just use the SPA for the QoS and lose my non-critical LEAF-as-PPPoE-login functionality)? I'm self-taught in all my other stuff and don't mind learning, but is QoS a /really/ nasty beast? Does anyone have a config used for VoIP that they could share to save me a bunch of work? Any How-To's kicking around? Is QBox a good place to look for a starting setup (i.e. dissecting QBox to see how they've done it, and port that functionality over to my LEAF box)? The BuC doc'n for LEAF takes me to the doc's for Bering (dated 2003: "Chapter 22. Managing QoS with Bering": http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/bk04ch22.html ). Is this info still largely relevant and applicable for BuC v2.3? TIA for any info, and of course, for LEAF! scott; canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
