Simon- Simply put, a SIP trunk is a link that can carry multiple SIP conversations to different extensions. You can implement this between your SIP server/softswitch to other SIP servers or to a VoIP SP or another SIP capable IP PBX.
VoIP on the other hand is the technology of carrying voice (which use to be carried traditionally over the PSTN or GSM) over an Internet protocol (IP) link. Basically encapsulating voice packets within IP headers, then transport them over an IP network. Note that the term VoIP can sometimes be used in a generic way to refer even to Voice over FrameRelay (VoFR) or ATM. Hope this helps. --- Tomslin Blog: http://tomsleen.blogspot.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/tomslin Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail ________________________________ From: Simon Tusubira <[email protected]> To: Linux Users Group Uganda <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, February 24, 2010 4:53:39 PM Subject: Re: [LUG] SIP Phone What's the difference SIP Trunking and VoIP ?
