Asterisk-oh323 was the first H.323 channel driver for Asterisk.
The included one is a fork of it, which followed a different approach
in the internal design and implementation.
Currently, both are following totally independent roadmaps.

Some features of asterisk-oh323 (OH323 driver):

- Jitter buffer (static or dynamic, with configurable limits).
- Configurable number of voice frames per RTP packet.
- Inbound call rate limiter (experimental, needs more testing).
- Configurable limits for inbound, outbound, simultaneous calls
   at any given time.
- RTCP report generation and handling.

Normally, you try both of them and keep the one that makes you happy.
