RE: VoIP QOS best practices

Many boxes are able to reorder packets.  If packets arrive too late to
be inserted into the conversion stream, they are dropped.  One dropped
packet in a sequence can usually be 'hidden' or 'faked' by the codec.
When more than one packet is missed in sequence, it becomes noticeable
to the listener.
