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>
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.
I'm not sure what you mean here. What connections? If they're
terminating to the PSTN Either they're paying someone to do it or
they're doing it themselves right? If they're doing it themselves they
have to handle the bandwidth requirements. As I said before - if both
endpoints are on vonage the data might go from device to device
