[Asterisk-Users] Oh this is bad.... bindaddr and rtp traffic

[Bob McDowell]

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is way, way, way off topic at this point.
Douglas's point was raised and a valid counter point was offered, let's
please just move on.

No amount of additional discussion is going to add this feature into
Asterisk.  If this is a deal breaker for you, Douglas, you are aware of
other solutions to try.

What other productive conversation can there be from this?

For the record, Douglas is correct on this point of "enterprise-grade"
being on ABE:
http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=product_category&category=software

Copied and pasted right from the website, it says:

Asterisk Business Edition(tm)
Digium(tm), the leader in open source telephony, offers Asterisk
Business Edition, an enterprise-grade version of its acclaimed open
source PBX for the Linux operating system. This version provides tested
reliability of critical functions and features, tailored for small- and
medium-sized business applications.

Now, as to the debate about what is and is not available in an
"enterprise-grade" product, I will have to defer to those who actually
use Asterisk in the enterprise - I only use it for tinkering and minor
voice broadcasting campaigns.
