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.
