[Freeswitch-users] [Freeswitch-dev] VMWare voice quality

[Remko Kloosterman]

Lot's of experience and suggestions here. Thanks.

I believe it should be theoretically possible to have blip-free RTP
streaming through the appliance. Most windows ethernet drivers allow for
QoS packet scheduling. If the VMware network bridge driver honors this
and syncs the buffers at 20ms frames (or whatever frame size applies)
you should be able to schale up a bit and maintain low jitter. 

Anyone knows how the VMware network bridge exactly works?

If you don't handle RTP, I'm sure it is amazing. However, if you have to
do voicemail, stream audio from the server or do any kind of actual
time/latency/jitter sensitive processing, I don't care how much you tune
your hypervisor, it's never going to scale.

I've not seen this behavior on Vmware ESX 3.5u2. Maybe an issue on
Vmware Server or Workstation?
