I’ve been working on optimizing our MPLS network to better handle VoIP traffic. We’ve noticed some latency issues during peak hours and are considering new QoS policies. Has anyone had success implementing specific configurations or tools that improved their setup?
, dealing with latency during peak hours drives me nuts! I’ve found that tweaking the DSCP settings for VoIP traffic can help a bit. It’s tricky getting them right, though; maybe try testing them during those busy times to see what gives you the best performance? Also, have you considered using tools like SolarWinds for monitoring?
One thing that helped us was implementing the right traffic policing policies alongside our QoS adjustments. We noticed a significant drop in latency during peak times after fine-tuning our bandwidth limits per call. Have you tried any traffic shaping techniques yet?
Have you experimented with traffic shaping in addition to your QoS policies? I found that adjusting the shape of VoIP packets helped smooth out the flow, especially during those busy peak hours. It can be a bit of a balancing act, but it might be worth a shot. @NetworkGuru had some great insights on this in a previous thread.
