[Asterisk-Users] Oh this is bad.... bindaddr and rtp traffic

[Michael Collins]

For the record, Douglas is correct on this point of "enterprise-grade"
being on ABE:
http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=product_category&category=software

Copied and pasted right from the website, it says:

Asterisk Business Edition(tm)
Digium(tm), the leader in open source telephony, offers Asterisk
Business Edition, an enterprise-grade version of its acclaimed open
source PBX for the Linux operating system. This version provides tested
reliability of critical functions and features, tailored for small- and
medium-sized business applications.

Now, as to the debate about what is and is not available in an
"enterprise-grade" product, I will have to defer to those who actually
use Asterisk in the enterprise - I only use it for tinkering and minor
voice broadcasting campaigns.
