Well, I do use SIP trunks for the long distance calls but the local 
calls are routed through an AudioCodes MP-118 Gateway.

I believe there is adequate traffic shaping configured on the Cisco 
router.  The main problem is that this issue (callers hearing glitches 
or dropped syllables from recipients but recipients hearing callers just 
fine) occurs even between phones on the same internal LAN.  So, the 
router and the AudioCodes Gateway are not always a part of the scenario 
when users experience this problem.

I recently read another thread about a user hearing a stutter during 
voicemail IVR playback.  One of my users has experienced that same issue 
and you indicated that it might be a problem with the Polycom firmware. 
  I'm currently running the version 3.2.4 but I have deactivated that 
and reactivated 3.1.3RevC so hopefully that will help to resolve the 
issue.  I have QoS configured on all of the switches and a user has told 
me that the call quality on Skype is better than the quality on the 
Polycom phones so I'm hoping/thinking that it may be the firmware.

I know there are many tests I can run but what are some of the best 
tools/tests to run in order to track down the cause of an issue like 
this?  Should I look into setting up an RTCP-XR collector for Polycom 
Productivity Suite?  We don't have the Polycom Productivity Suite but 
should we get it?  Will one suite license cover all of the 64 phones we 
have?

Thanks again for your help.
