Re: [Freeswitch-users] MPL and licensing

2009-06-20 Thread David Sugar
There are no legal uncertainties with respect to patents in GPL v3. You cannot assert them in code you license under it. There was ambiguities in GPL v2 in this respect which some companies liked. I prefer to deal with honest companies rather than those that are anti-social or might choose

SIP TLS will protect the SIP session information with static keys via a certificate, assuming of course the call is direct between two peers. It will do nothing for the actual voice channel. There is SRTP, which can be used to create a cryptographic context over RTP. However, the key question is

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch optimization as a registrar

You actually have potentially ~1320 effective SIP transactions per second to support 4 registered ua's with a 60s refresh. This is because the ua sends it's registration refresh unauthenticated. The registrar will then push back an authentication challenge request so the ua can prove its

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch optimization as a registrar - a cute hack

2008-12-30 Thread David Sugar
I actually have found an alternate approach that we optionally use in sipwitch. Basically, sipwitch can be set to recognize a trusted subnet, and automatically accepts a refresh from any actively registered ua on the trusted subnet(s) without requesting an authentication challenge, so long as the
