My question is this: How do huge voip companies like vonage handle bandwidth. I'm pretty sure that they have to have sufficient bandwidth available for X numbers of simultaneous calls, in other words ALL VOIP traffic runs through their servers, right? My boss is of the mind that there is no way that this is a viable business model and his insistence has me doubting myself.<snip>
For one thing, I suppose they use codecs that compress the voice data as much as possible. Probably g729, or ilbc or some such.
Also, it's not true that all the traffic need to flow through there servers. Once the connections are setup in a well designed system, the data could flow directly.
