Is this a new issue, or one that has been going on for some time?  If it's a new issue, when was the problem first noticed?

Side note:  I expect we'll see more of this type of problem as "net neutrality" goes away.  ISPs will relegate traffic that doesn't pay the carrier to "if, as and when bandwidth is unused."

Problem unclear<br />
<br />
When you say VOIP traffic is dropping, is it calls cutting off while on the conversation? Or you cannot take calls at all?<br />
Is it happening both in incoming and outgoing calls?<br />
What happens to your internet connection when this happens?<br />
What's the VOIP device you are using? If PBX, is this happening with internal calls as well?

Hello, <br />
<br />
I've a 100mbps L2VPN link to connect two locations in an urban environment. The link utilization is less than 50% and the VOIP traffic is still dropping. <br />
<br />
Both sides are connected to L3 switches with QOS policies. <br />
<br />
Is there any tweak to overcome this situation. <br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />

VOIP traffic is dropping

Wide Area Network (WAN)

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
