FreePBX Direct RTP Setup

You are spending a lot of time to save 200kbps max per intra office call. How much is this project costing versus how much will it benefit your company?
FTFY. Might be far less and it's split between the directions. And you give up some features like call control, monitoring, recording and reporting. Sure those might be trivial, but I'd think hard about @JaredBusch's comment here. Typically intraoffice calling uses an unnoticeably small bandwidth. It's totally trivial.

These are good points. Our FreePBX instance is regularly sending and receiving 3-4 Mbps of traffic, which isn't really that much. I'll have to see how much of this is internal/internal vs internal/external to see what sort of difference this would make.

That is easy. Just open the Dashboard and look at the trunk usage. That tells you right there how many calls are going in out out the external pipe. You have ~10 calls for each 1mbps.

Now, while the CALL may be 80kbps, once you tack in overhead, there overall usage is easily 100kbps. I can look at any number of systems deployed in the wild and watch the traffic go up and down by almost exactly 100kbps.

Here's a screen shot of the dashboard. How do I interpret what I'm seeing?
-
Why the heck does it show the network in KB instead of Kb. How silly.
That shows your average at pretty close to 100Kb/s. Just eyeballing it.
-
Total server traffic is 3.7 Mb/s. 36 calls at the moment.

No idea. It's been this way since I've been here.

WTF is up with your calls counts not even being close? Do you do a lot of internal conference calling?
You have 36 active calls but only 6 internal and 5 external? Where in the hell are the other 25?

FreePBX has always used that notation.
