We have competitors using vendor solutions that are expensive as hell. So, we are trying to counter with a less expensive but powerful solution. What exactly is wrong with that?

No mystery, just a question of whether masking your UA in the SDP will have a net positive effect. The guys who've chimed in on this thread are battle-hardened veterans of the VoIP business. If they felt that messing with the SDP could reasonably give you a competitive edge then they'd tell you how to do it. You are not at all the first person to ask about this. People tried this years ago in Asterisk, and AFAICT the ROI was near zero or worse - things stopped working and people had to waste time/money/energy chasing down SIP interop issues. That all being said, no one here will try to stop you from trying. Just be prepared to go it alone because most of the experts here really aren't interested in helping people do things that could have such a potentially negative impact on their systems. -MC

Wait, so your "competition" can't figure out to use FreeSWITCH, yet they are still competition? I mean, you got people sitting around going "hmm how can bet beat Ken, damn we can't- -- OH FREESWITCH NOW I GET IT!!!"?

Very true. We're just trying to stay one step ahead of the local competition.

While I understand the request:
1) They are going to find out anyway. 2) You are posting to FreeSWITCH-users using (presumably) your real name and corporate e-mail address.
If you were looking to hide FreeSWITCH it's a little too late.

It's not meant to be offensive or anything. We'd just like to ensure the competition doesn't know what we're doing for as long as possible. That's all.
