[VoIP] VoIP gateway

[John Novack]

Best solution is to not even share the Cat5? wiring.
two drops to each location. Completely separate networks.
Many SIP phones don't even have a 100 Mbit pass through.
This, of course, assumes the option exists to control all aspects.
Failing that, managed switches where one can control traffic priorities 
through QoS.
Wiring is cheap, compared to managed switches
Opinions may vary.
