Pretty much all VoIP protocols use UDP— which makes sense for their normal realtime operation. For voice over tor you'd really want some kind of push-to-talk moderate latency system that uses TCP. There really isn't a lot like that out there, but developing one wouldn't be hard. For the audio coding codec2 (http://codec2.org/) would be the obvious choice right now— in order to keep the load on the network nice and low. It sure would be nice if tor had mutually authenticated peer to peer connections. So that every X-over-tor protocol doesn't have to invent some crazy binding protocol like torchat uses to mutually authenticate a hidden service. E.g. something to allows a hidden service key to be used as "caller-id" while calling another hidden service. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
