[Asterisk-biz] Forklift a 2000 phone PBX - 5000 calls up

[steve]

Hi:

You are correct.   Vonage is using lots of computers and gateways.  They do
not have all their eggs in one basket.   They are using many carriers in
different areas. 

I know that in Mexico, Vonage is starting to have major problems.   Telmex
is blocking their audio channel and the Southwest bell programmers (SWB
ownes 10% of Telmex) is blocking SIP.

I get the feeling that the vast majority of vonage calls are
vonage->PSTN (which requires the SIP proxy to hand off to a gateway),
not vonage<->vonage. Couple that with the fact that a large portion of
vonage users are behind NATs (and STUN isn't exactly 100%) , and i
start thinking that there is some vonage component (SER, asterisk,
jasomi, whatever) in the media path in the majority of cases.

In case of vonage<->vonage you're absoutely right (except for NAT).

does this sound logical?
