        Sorry to bring up an old subject, but I have NEVER seen a
reccomendation that suggested putting voice in the priority queue.

        This doesn't make sense either. We want to put delay-sensitive real
time protocol (RTP) like voice payload and video conferening payload (at T-1
speeds and above) because this traffic relies on UDP and is connectionless
(spray and pray).

        Call Setup and teardown (call control) is completely different
because it's TCP based (SCCP, H.323 and MGCP backhaul). Call control
packets can be retransmitted if lost. If call setup packets are lost and it
takes a little bit longer to setup a call, it's not a big deal. But if
we're taking bandwidth away from bearer traffic to make new calls, it could
be detrimental (although it's not a big deal because call control is
measures in bps while bearer calls are measure in kbps).

        Please post the reference because I didn't find this in the 3.1 QoS
SRND. Thanks.

Current recommendation is to put the signaling in the same LLQ as the voice
traffic. Without signaling packets arriving properly, the data flow will not
happen, and the performance impact on the LLQ of including them is
negligible. However, there are no laws of nature for this. If the queue you
put the signaling packets in always delivers, there's no real downside to
doing that either. However, if it is not a priority queue, that is a big if.

Guys,

I need your opinion.
We had a QoS Audit by a consultnat and his opinion was to have voice and
voice sinaling in a same queue. (in LLQ, don't differentiate them, but put
them in single queue) Even though I see the benefit of having one single
queue, I wanted to have 2 separate queues (different traffic) for
scalability (for different type of traffic/marking in the future) and
troubleshooting purposes (so we know which queue (type of traffic) is being
saturated, droped (i.e. show policy interface will show me which queue was
dropped and etc).
I wanted to know what your opinions are.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Edward
