*If SIP is using a server* signaling messages always pass through the server but *audio messages (RTP flow) can travel end to end without passing through the server. In IAX, signaling and data must pass always through IAX server. *This increases the bandwidth need by the IAX servers when there are many simultaneous calls. This is a big drawback of IAX it seems, especially in a mesh setup, where in many cases, the available bandwidth between clients may be higher via direct node routes compared with the bandwidth via the server route. It seems SIP will utilize the network more efficiently in a mesh topology. Yesterday we were testing this on the server, and two nodes with three client. The data was being sent directly client -- node -- node -- client, and virtually no bandwidth was being used on the server. :) On Sat, Oct 15, 2016 at 5:07 AM, Anish Mangal <anis...@umich.edu> wrote: > Will look into IAX2.
