I don't think its an argument as much as it is folks expressing opinions without giving you a clue why they've formed that opinion. Here's another one.
SCCP is a cisco proprietary protocol that some folks have partially reverse engineered, writing * code to support those basic functions that have been reverse engineered. Not all of Cisco's SCCP functions have been reverse engineered. If you compare functionality of what Cisco is doing with Call Manager to that implemented in *, you'll see differences. If the functions that have been implemented meet _your_ needs, then use it. (Read: work in progress.) On the other hand, SIP is an established open RFC standard. However, not all SIP standards are implemented in *, and not all SIP phone manufacturers implement all published standards. (Read: work in progress.) But, there are significantly more folks working towards expanding SIP support then there are folks reverse engineering SCCP. So, _you_ have to evaluate SIP vs SCCP and compare the two to whatever your requirements happen to be, and chose a protocol that you are comfortable addresses the majority of your requirements. No one can do that for you. Remember, opinions are like mouths (or substitute whatever anatomy part you'd like), everyone has one. ------------------------ > Guys, obviously there is an argument about SIP vs SCCP when it comes to > using Cisco IP Phones with Asterisk.
