Proxy, Proxy Server: An intermediary entity that acts as both a

server and a client for the purpose of making requests on

behalf of other clients. A proxy server primarily plays the

role of routing, which means its job is to ensure that a

request is sent to another entity "closer" to the targeted

user. Proxies are also useful for enforcing policy (for

example, making sure a user is allowed to make a call). A

proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites specific parts of

a request message before forwarding it.

So I am still not convinced that I cannot name FreeSWITCH in Bypass Media mode as a PROXY :-)

Because it does all the things described:

1.intermediary entity

2.plays the role of routing

3.its job is to ensure that a request is sent to another entity "closer" to the targeted user

Please pay attention that nothing is written about media here.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for important note.
Why can't we name FreeSWITCH in Bypass Media mode as PROXY? Which thing it is missing?

Because when you proxy the media it goes thru your FreeSWITCH instance and when you're in bypass you don't have the media it goes direct P2P
