[asterisk-users] IAX for internet file transfer?

[Martin]

I'm sure he meant UDP not RTP.

In order to guarantee the delivery you can simply do what IAX already
does ... ACK the
frames. This is what TCP does and ISDN PRI protocol layer 2 on the T1/E1.

But why does he want to do it ? Share secret / illegal files LOL ?
