We currently plug our CentOS 5.x FreeSWITCH server directly into our service provider’s ADTRAN to connect with the outside world, and to a switch for intranet (of which a 2^nd firewall is connected there and to the ADTRAN for our other servers).  We are shopping for other providers who are shocked that we don’t have a router in between that is doing QoS to prioritize the voice/SIP traffic.

 

Is a router w/ QoS capabilities a good idea?

 

Thanks,
Jason
