Now networks would be automatically and continuously optimized for IP telephony QoS, courtesy a new application which has been released by Xelor Software. The company claims that the program called as XeloRate is better and it ensures voice quality for its registered users and other IP telephony users would be getting 'best effort' service.

This is what Rob Scott, CEO, Xelor had to say:

Do you have a map of what's going on in your network on a call-by-call basis? Cisco can't give you that. The first part of our software automates setting up QoS in Cisco routers. We have a server next to the Call Manager, it maps the network and the addresses going in and out, and reports on problems. Then it takes our best-practice rules and methodologies and applies them to the infrastructure; it's an expert system to set up, police and monitor your network for voice QoS on an ongoing basis.

Since system administrators generally fall short of time, XeloRate would keep updated with network changes. It runs on Red Hat Linux and is currently working with Cisco and Avaya IPt gear and includes the Extreme switches and routers which Avaya uses. From 2007 Nortel and Mitel IPT support would be added along with support for optimizing video QoS.
