[Asterisk-Users] IAX and Snom200

[Brian Mulligan]

Certainly there is the NAT issue and this should not be underestimated. Also
IAX allows optimisation of existing bandwidth between Asterisk servers.
The SNOM guys should look over their shoulders at Verbiage who are bringing
an IAX phone to market. I suspect it will have a lot of interest amongst
this community.

    We thought about this option. I guess the IAX2 is not the problem. We
believe the real problem will be the user interface.



    snom would have no problem providing the platform (hardware plus
operating system and stuff like audio), but we simply don’t want to open
another development branch (already got enough trouble with SIP.-).



    I personally think its ok to optimize the SIP interoperability. All that
you can do in IAX can also be done in SIP (or am I making a big mistake
here?).

    There is the big difference. in that IAX handles NAT much better, esp.
double NAT (security)

    I'm not sure if you work for snom, but I'm willing to help out where I
can.

    Anyone else care to list the differences between SIP and IAX2?

    If would be great to get a comprehensive list, Mark or the digium guys
???
