Re: VoIP question

You'll likely experience delays in your VoIP calls to/from those ports due
to the traffic being passed out to all ports rather than just the
source/destination ports. That's why switches are essential for VoIP
operation. For larger installations, QoS-compliant switches are essential in
order to ensure that voice traffic is prioritised above data traffic.

Delay is something users rarely 'see' with regards data traffic. With VoIP
traffic however, even a slight delay makes a call unintelligible.
