[cisco-voip] router selection......

[Norton, Mike]

Add my vote for separating routing and voice. That way when you outgrow your routing capacity, you're not forced to buy new voice gateway capabilities. Or vise-versa.

Last summer I replaced all my ISR G1s with Layer 3 switches for WAN routing and 2901s for voice gateway. Now, next time we outgrow the routing capacity, we won't have to buy new VWICs, SRST licensing, etc. because the voice gateway won't need to change. Or when CUCM upgrades make the voice gateway IOS obsolete, we won't need to buy new WAN routing.

Sorry for the cross post.  But I wasn't sure which was the better forum to post in.

I currently have a 2951 running voice, Security, VPN, and Data.  it works really great for our current needs.  BUT we are going to start pushing more that 300mbps and this router is only rated for 296mbps per the spec sheet.

What is the next move up to support up to gig throughput and still support ZBFW, GRE, IPSEC, PRI's for Voice, and QoS at Gig speeds?

Do I have to separate out my WAN (use an ASR) and then continue with the 2951 for my security / voice?

What are my options?

Thanks

Scott
