I don’t believe that to be most everyone’s gripe. Internet and transport are
cheap in comparison to backhaul and the labor required to implement. We have
around 250 links, if you take Netflix out of the equation, you are not chasing
your tail upgrading them all the time.

Do you get the connection to that facility for free? This is just like every
time the bandwidth cost discussion comes up. The prices that people post that
they’re paying in carrier hotels never include the cost of the connection

Drop transport at more places in your network is good for resiliency and

If so, AirMax will not be able to prioritize it correctly, assuming the

Nope. Public IP on the CPE. CPE is set to router mode and then we are

You'll want to make sure you're tagging the Voip traffic with a DSCP tag. So
the UBNT gear will give it a dedicated timeslot. This should improve the call

Larry,
Thanks for the feedback. I have a mix of ATAs deployed, but I am going to
make sure they all have the right DSCP flags set for Airmax to prioritize.
I will also take your advice on sniffing and include in my testing. That
way I can make sure the flag isn't getting stripped off somewhere
