BellSouth to Deliver End-to-End QoS for Enterprise VPN's
What a hectic week I've had! Not allowed to connect from the customers LAN to my personal email accounts (security issue), so my communications have been difficult to say the least. Plus I had a bitch of a time buying an Italian SIM card, but did finally succeed on Tuesday morning.
Plus I am dealing with way too many levels of reporting on this project. At least my Nortel contact seems to be a good guy and has been very helpful. At least I think I have managed to get my own responsibilties straight (more than what I thought when I took this contract). Not complaining though, this is a very interesting project. It is re-awakening my centrex and ACD skills. I have been doing wireless for so long I have to smack the old head every once in a while to re-set the proccessor.
Enough of that, here's the news.
Bellsouth released the following on thursday:
Class of Service Options Assign Higher Network Priority to BusinessApplications like Voice over IP and Video
ATLANTA - March 31, 2005 - BellSouth (NYSE: BLS) today announced the availability of Network VPN Class of Service, a feature that enables enterprise customers to assign higher levels of priority to critical data traffic traveling on BellSouth's managed IP-VPN network.

More to follow, I'm doing my laundry, then heading to the cathredal down the street, to say a prayer for the Pope.
