Michael, thanks! that solved the problem I had to enable (101110 Expedited Forwarding (EF) PHB) which is the same as DSCP 46 (express forwarding).
This is easily turned on in Netgear too.. -----Original Message----- From: "Picher, Michael" [[email protected]] Date: 05/14/2010 08:31 PM To: "Todd Hodgen" <[email protected]>, "Josh Patten" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Polycom IP HD 550 echo problem Again, echo is not a QoS problem… jitter and drop-outs are. The Polycoms are set for default of DSCP 46 (express forwarding). You need to enable QoS on your network switches… and make sure that DSCP 46 traffic is going into the low latency traffic queues. If you have an HP switch this is very east… ‘qos type-of-service diff-services’. If you have something else… good luck J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Hodgen Sent: Friday, May 14, 2010 1:18 PM To: 'Josh Patten'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Polycom IP HD 550 echo problem I think a good understanding of echo and where it comes from is helpful. http://www.ditechnetworks.com/learningCenter/echoBasics.html It will likely change your perspective of where to search for it.

It's not an easy problem to solve. Unfortunately echo is not something you can just "turn off". It something that can be minimized but not eliminated due to the nature of VoIP.
