All:My customer wants to try to improve performance to his ATAs by creating a VPN from his network to the VOIP provider's network through the internet.
Thoughts? Should I try to dissuade him from this if performance is his mainmotivator?
Yep.I've done this sort of thing to get around NAT problems, that's about it.
Perhaps their theory is that a VPN gives them a "private" network, and they've heard that "private" networks do VoIP better. Obviously, a VPN doesn't give you control of the packets on the wire like a private network does, so that theory doesn't work.
