Voip operates over SIP, so of course they can tell. You are suggesting payload inspection of TCP packets, which is not only impractical, but Cisco told us their content switch couldn't even do that, so how their routers are going to do that is beyond me.
We have some of the newest Cisco equipment you can get as far as routers go. And we do the stuff you are talking about when dealing with standard voip. But payload inspection would put a major strain on the routers. > -----Original Message----- > From: Vivec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 7:28 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Those that said it would not happen :Net Neutrality voted > down by congress. > > That isn't what the bill is about.Calling 911 is irrelevant to the > bill, and is not what people are arguing against. > > All the companies such as Microsoft et al who are arrayed against the > bill are NOT uninformed at all.That alone should signal to you that > there is error in your understanding of the Bill and it's benign > nature. > > And yes, the newer CISCO routers CAN detect VOIP traffic and > differentiate it from normal web traffic, or file transfer traffic > etc. It has nothing to do with the ports, nor does it matter that it > is simply 'general' TCP or UDP. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206037 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
