Tom Keating has a good point about bandwidth shaping. I think that a lot of what is happening so far is done at the network level, with only AT&T's CallVantage publicly saying they are doing the packet prioritization at the telephone adapter level, which is why they prefer the TA to be in front of the router.
Where are you running yours? I am still behind the router and have heard a few (only a few unlike my Vonage) people say we were breaking up. How much better could it really be in front?
I sort of need it behind in order to not get in the way of some other network things I have running...

Interesting. I thought it is because of NAT/Firewall problems. What does their TA do for QoS that it can not do if it were behind another router?
