[Steve Davies]

Hi Kevin,

I like your list.

Here's what comes to mind to talk about under the various topics

Extend IAX so it can serve as a general "RPC" capability between  
Asterisk boxes
Use that for things like:
	proxy/tunnel user/peer lookup to another box, also maybe similarly  
for actual calls
		this would allow "roaming" in the style RADIUS proxy allows for  
session authentication
	fetch remote extension states
	call remote dialplan macro
	query remote variables
	query remote db
Improve instrumentation, hammer IAX channel on a test setup, find  
bottlenecks, push up capacity
Fix and/or document all the subtleties of IAX timestamps.

Sounds cool but not much to say

Sounds important but not much to say.

See some of the ideas for IAX2/RPC.
Could use that the synchronise SIP/IAX peers/users within a cluster  
without needing to use realtime
Similarly extension state can be propagated amongst boxes
