ABSTRACT:
Voice traffic presents many challenges for the network manager. In addition to keeping packets flowing over the LAN and WAN, with voice or IP telephony, the network manager must be concerned with application performance management, real-time issues such as delay and jitter, as well as the end user's experience. This expert guide will explore the issues that can impact your network when VoIP comes into play, and our expert will discuss strategies for keeping your voice and data traffic running smoothly on one network—before end users start to complain about call quality.
