[Asterisk-Users] Adit 600 as VoIP router (MGCP) and Asterisk

[Daniel Nyström]

Do you think it's hearable? All communication will be on a dedicated Fast Ethernet link (just a cross-over cable). And it will still use aLaw codec (same as Euro ISDN afaik).
Since E1 = 2048Kbps and FastEth = 100Mbps, I concidered it fast enough to not make any latency. It seems like MGCP also can use UDP. In that case, there won't be any retransmission or anything.
Do you have any experiences using MGCP of any kind?

Thanks for the tip!
