hi, guys.

Recently I was trying to implement an IP PBX for my company, but I
stuck by the jitter issue.

I have a cisco 1760 router with a 10baset WIC-1ENET card, and a cisco
2560G switch, data on vlan1 (native) , voice on vlan2. Already applied
Qos on the router.

Everything went good at first, but when I was trying to download a big
file from the internet, things happened.

Here's how I did, I made a call from a ip phone to a landline phone,
then put the line onhold, landline phone user can hear the on hold
music, then I started to download a big file from internet, the
landline user will hear music became jitter.

Cant find a way to avoid it, any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Be sure to implement CBWFQ/LLQ on the output queue of your serial links.
We utilize the exact same platform in part of our network, and I can
tell you that we can absolutely bury a T1 without any side effects to
the VoIP stream. We might see jitter increase by a millisecond or two,
but the overall jitter numbers are just that - less than a handful (<
5ms). We routinely see jitter numbers of < 1 ms. Forty (40) ms is your
jitter budget.

This is one thing Cisco can do well, as they have superb packet
scheduling capabilities in IOS. Do a search on CCO for "CBWFQ/LLQ". Keep
it simple, and don't create more than 3 or four total traffic classes.
Utilize the VoIP examples they list.

Failing that, post your QoS config. Rest assured, though, what you're
trying to do is not unreasonable, and done daily in production networks.

Good luck!

I have to say this network is my test environment, so we dont have
serial port on 1760, I just connect my wic-1enet card to my netpioa T1
router's ethernet port, dont know whether this will cause the issue.
