Thanks for your input , Alexei.

Yes , I am using G729 codec across WAN. I am of the opinion that even though
queue-limit 4 (at the moment it is set 1 ) will make 4 packets to stand in
the queue before they get serialized, it may still help our heavy signaling
drops. Because as you can appreciate unlike RTP streams , RTCP can survive
bit of latency and the she is happy as long as packets get to the other side
of the VC.

Based on that logic , I am moving ahead with my CCR (internal change
control) and in the next 72 hours I will make necessary change at HUB
end/7507. If it does not stabilize our call centre operations ,then I may
consider enhancing the signaling class-map's allocated bandwidth from 8k to
may be 15k.

If it still does not help, then may be I will start looking in to CM side of
the things , even though I am reasonably sure that Application layer is
working fine.

Will let you know how am going with this case after few days.

Thanks again for your input :-)

David.
