Good Router to Split up speed for VOIP
I am curious to know if there is a good router to split up the speed of my internet connection so I can route the majority of my speed over to the VOIP for the best possible quality.
Also, what if I wanted to add a line at my business to do the same thing. Would you use the same router? We currently have two 24 port switches and use Bellsouth DSL 6.0. DHCP and DNS is handled by our win2k3 server.
Thanks for your help.

That is for your business.... sorry... at home.. I use the dlink dl-102 (69.95 at compusa) works fine for less than 2 concurrent calls.

I have a feeling he is not at that level though FurnessSupport... For residentual there is abundance of downstream... so just prioritizing at the gateway will work with less than two calls (this is how vonage and att and all the others getaway without a QOS device). As far as offices where they often have symetric speeds you need to start worrying about inbound traffic.
The VoIP standard that has been first implemented by Cisco (than edgewater, adtran, eu4oria and so on) is the packet acknowledgement delay... TCP traffic will not send a new packet till it recieves an ack packet on the prior one so... this is the method implemented in these devices... As far as calling your ISP and asking about QOS? They will nt have it unless they are running a managed VoIP network behind it... also... if they are not a tier one carrier you are at the will of the cloud... as always...
This is the world we live in... imperfect calls... but, there are many simple devices out there for the avg user...
VoIP Engineer's blessing: May your MOS score never drop below 4 and all your calls be jitter free.
Also for joemckamey... QOS means Quality of service... you are not "spliting your interent" you are prioritizing voice traffic over data traffic... this allows for dynamic shaping and less wasted bandwidth....
