Sigh what? Mike, read about PRI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Services_Digital_Network
Find one reference to virtual PRI. Sorry, I don't follow Flowroute, in fact, since it wasn't capitalized, I wondered what it is. They do reference some VPRI on their website, and they give no details of what it is. I would assume it is a T1 that is provisioned for SIP trunks from their switch, and terminates in an IAD, or Gateway of some type, and feeds to you or the end customers a PRI. Of course I could be wrong on this, it could just be plain old SIP trunks over an IP infrastructure, but since there are no details on their website, I can't say. It is easy to discuss things when we are discussing real items, rather than some companies Marketing terms. That's all I'm saying, and I think that is what Tony was asking - what is it exactly. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 7:08 PM To: sipx-users Subject: Re: [sipx-users] flowroute VPRI IP authentication <sigh> On Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:55:11 -0800, Todd Hodgen wrote: > Yes, but what is a virtual PRI?
