[VoiceOps] High Quality, Reliable Voice via the Internet / SIPNOC

[PE]

routing to choose an alternate route
Interesting idea. Who's doing this and how is it working for you? Are you
using static routes or altering BGP? Other?

exposure
Alex B may be right on this. Hard to speculate without hard evidence with
lots of volume to back it up. I do know, however, that some carriers
(Verizon comes to mind) will not support anything other than 20ms, so it is
easier to standardize on a single ptime rather than try to customize each
install.

Internet to CPE to provide better quality for Voice.
Are they suggesting SIP over TCP or some other out-of-band TCP to help
manage quality to the endpoint. While we have a small amount of SIP/TCP
going on to support older BLF integrations, I am not a fan. It adds
overhead to the core (SBC) and also means that an SBC switch from active to
standby will drop the device.
