Subject: [sr-dev] Interconnecting SIP servers without the PSTN

greetings all:

I have long believed that VOIP and SIP will not reach their full potential 
until SIP servers can route calls to other SIP servers without having to go 
through the ancient telephone system, and pay their tolls.

There is nothing of substance preventing any SIP server from calling numbers at 
any other SIP server. They just need to know which numbers are hosted on which 
servers. There have been several attempts to resolve this issue: freenum.org, 
e164,org, Dundi (for asterisk). All appear to be dead at this time.

I think that one of the reasons for these failures was that all of these 
systems relied on the public DNS system to exchange server location info. 
Putting your SIP server address on a public system and advertising that this is 
the IP of a SIP server is simply begging for hackers to attempt to breach your 
SIP server. Its like painting a big target on your back.

We at Xantek have been working on an alternate approach, using AGI calls and 
responses to identify routing info. This approach allows us to limit server 
identification to registered users of the system, and registered users will 
have to provide identification (something that hackers probably won't do).

We also are incorporating a PIN number into the dial string, so that recipients 
are aware that the call is coming from a valid user. The PIN can be easily 
changed if fraudulent activity is suspected.

We have a working model for Asterisk set up (see voipconnect.tel for details), 
but we would like to expand into the Kamailio-verse. What we need is a few 
Kamailio experts to help with the development of the system on Kamailio. If you 
have any interest in helping, please reply to this post.

TIA, Bill
