Hi: You are correct. Vonage is using lots of computers and gateways. They do not have all their eggs in one basket. They are using many carriers in different areas.
I know that in Mexico, Vonage is starting to have major problems. Telmex is blocking their audio channel and the Southwest bell programmers (SWB ownes 10% of Telmex) is blocking SIP.

Couple that with the fact that a large portion of vonage users are behind NATs (and STUN isn't exactly 100%) , and i start thinking that there is some vonage component (SER, asterisk, jasomi, whatever) in the media path in the majority of cases. In case of vonage<->vonage you're absoutely right (except for NAT). does this sound logical? -yair On Mon, 28 Mar 2005 11:09:18 -0800, steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi: > > That is somewhat true but it is not the same as SER.
