The video support is really poor. You want to have another strategy<br>
and architecture for that. I don't see any work on improving video<br>
support in trunk, which means that if the community or Digium doesn't<br>
fund the needed work quickly, we'll end up with Asterisk 1.8 lacking<br>
good video support too. It doesn't feel good, since I had a branch<br>
with better video support, not perfect but much much better, prior to<br>
1.4 release.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes you are right, I saw some issues like codec negotiation.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Hosting multiple companies PBX's on one platform involves a lot of<br>
issues that affects the design. Are you going to allow customers to<br>
connect over manager? Are you going to deliver call parking, blinking<br>
lamps, call queues? Manager doesn't allow for filtering of events and<br>
doesn't offer good protection either. There's a lot we can do in<br>
Asterisk to better support hosting. With the current development on<br>
virtualisation, a lot of companies end up running one Asterisk per<br>
customer for reasons like the ones I listed. The problem is that you<br>
end up having to manager one Asterisk per customer... Painful and<br>
costly.<br></blockquote><div><br>No, effectively, no manager will be used. Indeed, it would be nice to have<br>more flexibility on customer management; Nortel as such thing with its<br>CS1000E and even Aheeva with their asterisk based call-center software,<br>
