Re: Virtual Routing for Voice Traffic

[Nicholas Garigliano <ngarigl8 () NAZ EDU>]

Technically, it is easily doable.  The one thing to the keep in mind is the
stability of your data network, i.e. layer 2-3.  Any issues will shut down
your phones and that might be considered a safety issue (i.e. 911 for
dorms) depending on where you are located.
