We're starting the process adding VoIP to our NEC system and we're getting ready to purchase the switches. We're going to put all our VoIP clients on a seperate network from our data. We've talked with another school district about their choices and found out they purchased Gigabit switches for their VoIP clients and didn't setup any QoS. Their reason being that, all the traffic is on a standalone network anyway and it being Gigabit should be enough to prevent flow problems.
My boss is looking at going with 3560G-48PS-E's and setting up QoS. I'm leaning towards going with 3560-48PS-E's and setting up QoS. Difference for us is around $4,000 per a switch.
So what I'm asking is, do we really need the Gigabit for VoIP, shouldn't 10/100 be just fine? Can anybody point me to some doc's about VoIP on Gigabit vs 10/100?
Thanks
