[asterisk-users] Question about g729

[Alex Balashov]

My understanding is that Asterisk will not pass through calls in codecs 
for which it does not have support and/or licenses; it simply does not 
advertise them in the SDP negotiation.

Perhaps I am wrong.

Which means that if your sip clients can transmit in g729 and your voip provider can receive in g729, your asterisk server won't need to do any encoding and therefore doesn't need any licenses. It is simply passing the data through from your sip clients to the voip provider. Not sure what happens if you want to play recorded messages and things. It would probably need licenses then because its encoding.
