[Freeswitch-users] what happened to iax

[Derek Smithies]

Hi,
  the voip protocols (sip & h323) had their genisys two decades ago - long 
before there were agreed on "best practices".

putting the ip address in the packets made things like transfer easier to 
do, or directing the media to a different box.

Derek.
