[Asterisk-biz] Standard practice for termination?

[Jef.Kent]

Unfortunately, with thin margins and scarcity of good quality routes to
certain destinations, people do attempt to find out who is actually at the
end of a route and circumvent the person in between.

In certain softswitches and session controllers you can effectively proxy
both the signalling (SIP/H.323) and the RTP stream.

BTW - I have joined this list as I have a number of customers who are using
* and I was keen to find out a bit more.
