Maybe the question should be posed to the VPN manufacturer (Kentrox or Avaya in this case).just a thought.

UDP ports 1718-1720 are for H.323 registration UDP ports 49152-53247 are for voIP but not for "voice over vpn" (IPSEC) traffic UDP port 500 is for VPN setup (not the actual voice conversation) I am still uncertain on what ports to use to prioritized the VPNRemote phone (IPSEC) voice traffic? Some routers allow you to prioritize by MAC address or by UDP port numbers and some routers don't have "priority" capability at all. However, there are routers out there that are somewhat "cheesey" and are a bit more complicated and you have to work with what you have. There are some home routers out there that allow you to prioritize by ethernet port number, this is the simplest method (just tell your end user to plug the VPN phone into the prioritized port).

Please feel free to use this concept to make your remote VPNRemote phones work just a little bit better.
We are already prioritizing at the main site and by prioritizing VPN/VoIP traffic at the remote location we have done all we can to deliver the best voice quality that we can. As always, we want happy end users and if we can increase the quality of the VoIP calls we will do our best. The more you can prioritize the better, it's that simple. It's pretty simple to understand (as the above meat analogy illustrates). We have installed VPN phones in the past and learned that about 30-50% of the delay/jitter issues are at the home/remote user's internet router.

If I take a piece of frozen meat and ship it to you in an refrigerated container the chance of you getting a stinking, rotted piece of flesh is less than if I took a thawed piece of meat and did the same thing. While granted we will likely lose quality along the way but we have started out with a quality product and thus the likelihood that we will end up with good quality product is far greater. You'll see several settings, and you will also need to know your VPN phone's MAC address. Once you log into the gateway's Firewall, click the IP Passthrough tab.
If the voice traffic starts out at the edge router being dropped or queued then the voice quality is dead before the conversation begins.īut now let's assume that, despite the fact that we are using public Internet, we have a high quality voice stream leaving the local network. Make sure your VPN phone is plugged into power and connected to the gateway via Ethernet cable. Garbage in garbage out is the foundation of the point.
