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

[John Kienzle]

Engineering apps run better of GigE. Our Autocad engineers have Topo files that are 500 to 800 MB they import into large Autocad drawings. Plus all their files are access from the NetApp NAS, since it's backed up.

That's possible, however, then it comes down to what is being used on that workstation that might possibly need that type of bandwidth?  And obviously some QoS would be involved, so if you're worried about somebody using 100Mb for an http stream, then you'd need to control that... I can't think of anything short of local streaming video that might possibly even need 100 Mbps.

	What about the PC that is plugged in behind the phone.  That talks on the network too.  So maybe their concern is at the PC/Workstation level and want greater than 100Mbps throughput.

		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
