I heard on this list last week that -netsec factors out the RTP server so it can be controlled across a network by an asterisk process. Which would allow a different RTP server than the one bundled with Asterisk to be used, like an existing RTP server, if the new RTP server exposed the same control API that the -netsec RTP server exposed. Does that not seem correct to you, after examining the -netsec version?
