VLAN vs Diffserv for obtaining QoS
- Thread starter mdfan
- Start date
VLAN do not actually give QOS but of course you can give one VLAN prioroty over the other. So in practic you get QOS but the big advantage with a VLAN is that if you have a big net (200 PC) you will get a lot of brodcast. If you put the phones on a seperat VLAN you can seperate this. with Ericsson's new phone 4425 you can configure the VLAN in the phone so that minimize the administration. But beware that there is a BUG in the phone so the PC connected to the phone will be taged with the same ID but new software is on it's way.
Conclusion:
Yes I think VLAN is a good thing for IP-phones. But there is just as much work to do in the IP infrastructure.
