Asymmetric routing and voip/video packets

[feisalb]

Hello All

Can anyone explain the best practises for voip and video traffic in a network that does asymmetric routing/ equal cost multipath routing?

I always thought that voip packets needed to be received in order so how does it work if the packets are being sent over different paths?

Thanks

In a  normal, properly configured network, load sharing over different circuits happens per-flow, and never per-packet.

So packets will be always be receivied in order, and there is nothing to worry about.
