With MGCP we're just using DSx Qos which is just services classification within the packet cable standard. Still runs over the same docsis network as all other traffic and not separated besides qos side of things.
We use a 64K reserved channel to set the call up, after that each call has its own service flow that is QOSed.
We also have reserved BW in the CMTS for 911 calls so that they always get through.
Where the modem resides in relation to 911 isn't really a factor as we go by services address for the account, a customer could moved the modem to another house across town and it will still work.
I know Time Warner has completely separate networks for voice and data, they didn't even reside on the same CMTS from what I understand. Don't know of anyone else doing it that way.
It's my jackleg appraisal -- I'm not an attorney much less an FCC specialist attorney -- that that subjects your service to regulations and restrictions that don't pertain to people who do it the other way; you are simply a VoN carrier, competing with all the other VoN carriers like Vonage; if you *do* give your own traffic priority, then you're violating... title II? Some net neutrality provision that they don't cause they're not *moving the calls* "over the Internet". Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
