[asterisk-users] Platform decision ...

It all depends what are you going to use Asterisk for.  Sounds like it is
for conferencing.  Would you care to elaborate?

Subject: [asterisk-users] Platform decision ...

Hello there!

During some research on Internet I found the following comparison on site
Voip-Info (see, "http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/OpenPBX.org+FAQ"):

The main points listed on Asterisk's "CONS" that concerned me were:

   * Conferencing on Asterisk depends on Zaptel hardware and/or kernel
modules for timing;
   * Lack of built-in STUN support for SIP NAT traversal;
   * Asterisk doesn't use SpanDSP;
   * Use of no longer maintained Berkeley DB1 engine as its internal
database;
   * Asterisk doesn't allow CSRC entries in RTP;
   * Asterisk doesn't have an universal jitterbuffer for use with any
channel type;
   * Asterisk doesn't use POSIX realtime extensions (having dependency with
Zaptel timing);

We were considering Asterisk as the chosen platform, but after reading this
I got a little worried.
The comparison considers 1.4 old version of Asterisk.

So, can someone give me an update on what have changed for this items
considering new 1.6 version ?
Maybe someone can point me a site with an updated comparison.

As long as I could see by now SpanDSP is present on new version of Asterisk,
so this item isn't a difference any more. Right ?

Thanks and best regards,
