[cisco-voip] GiGE phones -what for?!?

[Dixon, Wayne]

The only thing I could think of that MIGHT require GigE would be
video... If you were going to do that... Otherwise I would think it
might be overkill.

Hi, everyone,

I have had a strange request from a subsidiary of ours, in regards to a
new 
VoIP network design, in an office environment with 100-150 users, in
regards 
to supporting GiGE to the all the end points, and high end 6500's at the

core, w/720 SUP's. The Cisco reps were asking for that presumably
because of 
need to support GiGE phones. And here is my question: what would you use

Cisco GiGE phones for (what application on the phone would be able to
push 
and require such port speeds)?!?

As as a side note: our original design provided 4500's and 10/100
modules to 
the end points, except for a module with GiGE for file servers
connectivity. 
Of course the pricing of the former is triple compared to the latter,
but I 
would like to find out some technical aspects related to justifying the
first 
option, before even bringing up the cost issue.

Thanks,
Stefan
