[Asterisk-Dev] AES voice encryption for IAX2

[Derek Smithies]

Tracy,
 I agree, tunnelling over ipsec/stunnel etc is better than reinventing the 
wheel by integrating encryption into IAX.
 With one major exception.
 The tunnelling mechanism must not send the udp packets as tcp.
 The voice must be transmitted on the raw wire as UDP.
 This is why CIPE is such a good mechanism for doing voip vpns.

Derek.
