In the process of the development of Asterisk a new protocol has gathered the
|
||
|
|
attention among the VoIP users - the Inter-Asterisk eXchange, or IAX (TM),
|
||
|
|
Protocol, used as a the native communication protocol between Asterisk PBX
|
||
|
|
Servers. What is particularly good in it is that it requires only one UDP port
|
||
|
|
per endpoint to create a successful communication channel for VoIP calls. This
|
||
|
|
makes it much friendlier for users behind NAT, which is not the case with SIP
|
||
|
|
and H.323 - they required specific router configurations for their channel
|
||
|
|
establishment, thus hindering faster spread of VoIP on the home and corporate
|
||
|
|
desktop.
