[c-nsp] VoIP without QoS

[Nassess, George]

Hello List, 
 
I am in the process of extending our distributed VoIP call center to a
partner company, and their networking staff are extremely adamant that
they do not wish to implement QoS on their remote LAN, the DS3 link that
the voice traffic will traverse, or the core LAN in our shared
datacenter. I am fairly well aware of the arguments on both sides of the
debate of Mr. QoS (me) versus Mr. Excess bandwidth (them) but I wanted
to know if there is anyone on the list who has actually deployed an
enterprise VoIP solution without QoS, and whether the deployment was
successful as an ongoing solution or if QoS had to be added at a later
date. 
 
Thanks in advance for any experiences you can share,
