Also, I agree with this stance. There's nothing wrong with a pure-SIP service delivery platform; Broadsoft is doing just fine. :-) Bringing the calls into Enswitch over a hard circuit depends on TDM support that - for all the evolution of the technology over the last few years - is still sometimes flaky, and limits the scalability, dynamic organisation and high availability of the platform. Specifically, it ties call acceptance (and perhaps processing) to a particular host into which the circuit is plugged. It is much wiser to use outside TDM->SIP gateways. They are more robust, have lower mean time between failure, interoperate better, and allow the platform the fluidity of existing in a pure IP space. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
