Hi everybody,
If we add the TCP support to the Asterisk, will it
provide same voice quality and what will be the impact on delay,
security and performance ?
Waiting for the suggestion !!!
If you have a dropped packet it will cause horrible delay until that
packet is retransmitted. Basically its not advisable for things that
can tolerate some packet loss and require 'real time' processing.
Well, TCP should be used as transport for the SIP signalling, rather than
for the media data. The main advantage of using TCP is that TLS becomes
immediately available as security layer ("sips" URI's) so the session key
used to secure the media data with SRTP
(http://srtp.sourceforge.net/srtp.html ) can be easily transmitted as
cleartext (encapsulated in TLS) rather than having to rely on awkward
content encryption schemes such as S/MIME.
Of course, this all applies to SIP sessions, not IAX2.
