While IAX is good for penetrating NAT issues. There is no good solution to load balance IAX registration or calls. So if you want to build something scalable, it is better to use SIP.

Hi,
 There is another solution.

As discussed at Cluecon.
There is most of the iax code available in the opal/ptlib libraries.

Sure - opal&ptlib don't build in freeswitch - some issue about this was mentioned at cluecon this year. However, the build script in freeswitch (from when I last looked) uses a branch version of ptlib and trunk version of opal.. Not a good mix. Better to use the trunk revision of ptlib&opal -- where ptlib&opal come from the same SVN revision number.

Ok - there needs to be an iax registrar put into the opal code - bounties anyone? and you never know - it would be quite doable..

The voip protocol side of iax is useful - and great for people to use when
connecting from an unknown position to some server on the public internet.
Sufficiently useful to make it worth using.

Who is game to work with me in getting the answer?

Derek.

If you do really want to use IAX, there is a solution: Use Asterisk as
an IAX protocol translator and have it to forward all the calls via
SIP to Freeswitch.

OK, thanks.  I guess I am screwed trying to get to that box.

A tear in time and space has caused the flux capacitor to not function
properly so we had to retire the module since the lib didn't work right
anymore.
