edNET implement Quality of Service on Network
edNET, the Scottish business-class ISP, has announced a significant
technological development with the implementation of voice traffic
prioritisation through its network.

Unlike other networks that segregate traffic, the whole of the edNET
network is configured to recognise the different types of data packets
and subsequently give high priority to voice traffic. Creating a
network that manages all types of traffic is far more efficient than
having multiple networks for different applications. Combining all
services into one and managing the traffic types makes a more
efficient and economic network, be it more complex in its management.

Early in 2003, edNET became a Convergent Service Provider (CSP) and is
now a worldwide provider of voice services over broadband Internet
connections, whether ADSL, SDSL, Wireless, Satellite, leased lines,
and Ethernet connections. Although edNET is reputed for its reliable
and innovative Internet services, voice is a business-critical
requirement that demands Quality of Service (QoS). This is yet another
innovation that is making the edNET network one better than most
providers.

Managing QoS means that voice packets are guaranteed to traverse the
edNET Internet network with the least delay ensuring that speech
jitter, echo and crackle are eliminated - the sort of issues that
exist with mobile phones.

Dr Aydin Kurt-Elli, CEO of edNET, explained: "For the last 8 years, we
have built our reputation on the reliability of our Internet and
Network services. We now apply the same principle on our voice
services. However, because a phone call cannot wait, we have
implemented additional measures to achieve this objective".
