I have seen a number of postings cross this list that mention the possibility of standards-tracking IAX2 with the IETF (generating an RFC, etc.). Has that gone anywhere? What would it take to make it happen?
I think there are significant marketing advantages to generating an Informational RFC for IAX2. The fact that IAX does cross firewalls is very important in the consumer market and of course helpful for everyone else. At the moment Sk(h)ype gain significant PR mileage from this point. Most of the Press and Analyst community seem to leave their critical faculties turned off when Skype is mentioned relating only the good points and not the bad (security and bandwidth issues for end users, scalability etc). Showing that there is a credible and standard alternative approach seems to me to be a very good idea.
An informational RFC documenting the protocol would be a good start, it would make it more open but not an IETF product. Security specialists would get something to read and analyze. A VOIP protocol with RSA authentication, implemented today.
Is there any IAX2 document that could be a basis document somewhere?
