Network Requirements
Listed below are the requirements for a successful IPedge implementation.
LAN Requirements
•
Network Assessment (Pathview and/or AppCritical or Similar)
•
Network topology diagram
•
Network Reliability (at the server level – not at the phone level): 99.999%
•
POE for IP telephones is recommended
•
Layer 3 voice prioritization strongly recommended
•
Layer 3: DiffServ:Enabled

•
Target MOS (Mean Opinion Score) is 4.0
•
Recommend network monitoring with a tool such as What's up Gold.
•
For SIP trunking a SIP application layer gateway is required in the firewall
VoIP Requirements for Remote Users
•
Network Reliability – on the link that's in the customer's control 99.99%
•
Layer 3 voice prioritization recommended
•
Layer 3: DiffServ:Enabled / ToS Type:DSCP / DSCP for Voice: 46
•
88kbps (G.711 audio) in each direction per simultaneous call
Note
Media traffic is Peer-to-Peer
•
Less than 80 ms latency recommended
•
Jitter: 20mS or less (+/- 10mSec)
