[asterisk-users] SIPBroker vs SIPgate

[Adrian Marsh]

I had to turn Sipbroker off at one point, as I found that some Conf.
Calls on a 3rd party system didn't like the DTMF being passed (users
unable to enter conferences).  I traced all the failures to calls
passing out via SIPbroker, disabled it so the calls went via PSTN and
all was well..

Now I'm trying to re-work the call logic to include it again.

Seriously, from our experience, SIPBroker IS the best way to interact 
with all the open networks. For any closed networks, you might create 
special rules for interaction, but that would rely on setting up a deal 
with the respective destination network to actually ALLOW your calls.

There are some pay per play networks that do peering automagically (such

as XConnect), but it's a cost per connected call (granted, a tiny one, 
but still a cost), and it won't guarantee you any better connectivity to

a closed network than, say, SIPBroker.
