[Freeswitch-users] SIP Trunk with Private Static IP?

[Steven Ayre]

A SIP 'ping' is not a ICMP ping...

It works by sending a OPTIONS SIP request to the gateway, which then
responds with 200 OK. It has the advantage of working even if ICMP is
filtered by a firewall and testing whether the SIP server software is
running, not just whether the server is online.

Best Regards,
-Steve
