Re: Changing the question....
Did you know that IPSec VPN in general is not a good approach for VoIP, especially over DSL line? Not to mention that this will be a IPSec VPN tunnel between Costa Rica and US.
By deploying IPSec VPN in such environment, your connection is pretty much at the mercy of your telco, ISP, and transit ISP. Yes, it is cheap solution; however in general it won't be reliable solution.
If you prefer to have better reliability, then you might want to consider MPLS.  |

said by aryoba :Did you know that IPSec VPN in general is not a good approach for VoIP, especially over DSL line? No. Am I actually sending VoIP traffic over my VPN if they are on different public IPs? Since there is the DSL line has a minimum level of service, my desire would be to route VoIP traffic over the DSL line rather than the cable line, or shouldn't I bother to be concerned about this and look to configuring only VPN traffic over DSL and everything else through the cable connection?
I'm really struggling to understand how to improve overall speed, retain VoIP quality and stay within our financial capabilities. Am I aiming at an impossible target?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help, but as stated before, I really don't know all that much about networking (I'm a programmer by background) and I am trying to understand. |
