Abstract

When it comes to converging voice and data onto a single physical network infrastructure, network executives can benefit from a blueprint that maps out exactly how to enable voice and data traffic to coexist in harmony without robbing the performance of either. Siemens commissioned The Tolly Group recently to measure several significant attributes of Skyport that validate the network's capability to support voice and data fairly. Engineers measured voice call quality, the effect of Quality of Service (QoS) on call quality, and the application data throughput rates and application response time of business-critical applications during peak usage hours.

The LAN switching infrastructure is built around Enterasys Networksproducts.
