Hi, In _Theory_ asymmetric routing _should_ be ok, but that's in theory. I would be concerned as to why they are designing it this way. Have they gave you a good technical reason it has to be this way? I would ask them to justify it. Also, if there are routing problems on one path but not the other, this could cause a scenario where voice is heard but not received, or vice-versa. This situation is much more frustrating to customers as they will try and continue the conversation. Opposed to if it just doesn't work at all because of a routing problem, customer will just use their cell phones. Also, are they implementing any local PSTN access for local calls or failover? That's my experiences. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Onnel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 2:35 AM To: NANOG list Subject: [Nanog] VoIP over Asymmetric routing Hello, We are going to roll out a network to carry VoIP only, between the P routers, there will be 3xOC3 links. Each site has 2xPEs, PE1 is connected to the P router in the local premises with 10GE and PE2 is connected with 2xOC3s to remote P sites for backup incase local P fails. VoIP is going to be generated by Ericsson Media Gateways and the network designers are suggesting to take traffic in the outgoing direction through the PE1 path and come back through the PE2 path (if that makes sense), so traffic will take a different link for outgoing over incoming. >From your experiences, I am wondering what are future unforeseen pitfalls we can get into?
