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 main
motivator?
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.
