VOIP over frame relay QoS problem

Asked by bsternfield in Network Routers, Frame Relay, Voice Over IP

Tags: , , , ,

Hello--

I'm deploying VOIP phones across our frame relay WAN and noticed today that when Windows updates or large files are transferred across the WAN that the VOIP signal becomes choppy.  Here's the setup:

One corporate main site, one secondary corporate site, six small remote offices.

Corporate main site contains  the VOIP switches, has frame T1 with PVCs to each remote site.  VOIP phones and switches are on a dedicated subnet.

Secondary corporate site has point-point T1 back to main corporate site and frame T1 with PVCs to each remote site.  Secondary site is vacant at the moment, but will eventually have about 30 users w/phones and PCs.  QoS policy is configured on the point-point T1 back to corp main site to allow 1024K for VOIP traffic.

Six remote sites with VOIP phones.  Each site has between 4-8 PCs and phones.  Each site has a T1 with 2 PVCs, one back to corporate main site and one to secondary corporate site for redundancy.  256K minCIR, but typically they run around 700K +

Apparently the QoS configuration isn't working.  The goal was to reserve 192K of bandwidth at each remote site for VOIP traffic, which should be enough as only one or two calls would be occurring simultaneously.  Just wondering if something is wrong with the configuration, or if there is a better way to accomplish this altogether.

Thanks for any help.

Here are the relevant parts of the router configs
