VoIP over MPLS
In order to truly ensure that your VoIP system runs as smoothly as it can, it is important to take out as many variants as possible. One of those that can really boost performance not only in the number of simultaneous calls and clarity is MPLS. A network that has been designed from the top down with MPLS will layer the traffic in such a way that, for instance, your VoIP will get the highest precedence over other traffic going into your network. Another step is to decide on one particular carrier and dedicate your network to their MPLS setup. This will take you leaps and bounds in getting your VoIP up to the level that need to function in the business world.
