>From my limited exposure with them it really only provides QoS on an unmanaged LAN which can help if you are dealing with people on DSL or other public internet connections and the problems they have are LAN based data/VoIP contention. For example someone on the LAN is saturating the uplink with bit torrents - this can help make sure that the VoIP traffic takes priority without you having to manage their firewall/router. Of course this takes some time to setup and test. Simple VLANs can do the same thing with some work as well but the edgemark devices are a decent option for those looking for a one time set it and forget it option in this context.<br>
<br>For the real issues - It doesn't support SCCP (those really cool looking Cisco phones) and it really doesn't help anything over the public internet. In some cases a simple TCP based tunnel can help improve call quality over public networks by keeping packet ordering and loss to a minimum but this comes with it's own trials and tribulations without much guarantee.<br>
<br>Long story short - it may help depending on the problem you are trying to solve but be aware of the actual problem first.<br><br>Jesse<br>

Hey all, for those running SBC's (Acmes, Sonus, nCites) and NOT using Broadsoft, how many of you guys have dealt with Edgemarc at the client edge? What were your experiences?<br>
