If you refer to the urban legend that IAX always needs a server to stay in the media path, then you would be wrong. IAX has a mechanism that for all practical purposes is equivalent to a SIP reinvite through which the end points then transition to a mode by which they communicate directly peer to

I used to do it, but its a while ago. (Before iax2 got some more fixes) The trick was to keep the trunks small (like 40 per trunk, just make multiple), this should no longer be needed. Cpu utilisation with trunking should be lower than without trunking. Hi Zoa, Thanks for your input. I think
