You are clearly overlooking that we aren't a proxy server. We are a b2bua. /b On Jun 14, 2010, at 10:06 AM, Vitalii Colosov wrote:
Hi Brian,
I did not find the mandatory requirement for the proxy server to proxy also media:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3261.txt
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.
