Hi everyone,
Thank you all for your contributions to voiceops over the years, you
quite literally make the voiceops distro what it is.
With the coming of 2023, it’s about time to pass the voiceops torch to
the next generation. If you’d like to pick up the domain name and such,
please contact me off list.
Happy New Year to all,
David Hiers
The torch has been passed. David has transferred the voiceops.org
domain name over to me, and I am now hosting the DNS and landing page on
$DAYJOB servers. The actual mailing list is still hosted at
puck.nether.net.
And thank you, David, for your years of work to the voiceops list. Much
of what we do is so niche, it can be hard to find the resources we need
anywhere else. Just look at the DTMF thread from yesterday!
So let's all give a big thanks to David!
I'll leave you with a few quotes from way way back in the archives.

At IPTComm a couple of years ago, Jonathan Rosenberg stood up and said
the big problem was the walled gardens that are telcos and ITSPs. We
carriers just aren't passing traffic via VoIP. Even Cisco customers
aren't passing traffic within their own company; you'd have a BTS over
here and a BTS over there, owned by the same Cable MSO, passing
traffic via ISUP.
That was back in 2009. That is, sadly, still the case for many telcos,
both large and small.
And here are some excellent words from anorexicpoodle, written on
October 21, 2009:
Since we, collectively, are steering one of the industries driving up
individual utilization of the IPV4 address space as well as being one of
the most sensitive to NAT which is the only way through which IPV4 has
been sustained as long as it has; it seems like a worthy exercise to
discuss our own, and the industries preparedness to adopt IPV6.
Has anyone out there had any experience using any of the open source
platforms (OpenSIPS, Asterisk, SIPPY etc) with native IPV6? It seems
like these projects are the best equipped right now to handle this move
since they rely heavily on the network stack of the underlying OS.
Are there any endpoints or other CPE that anybody has had luck getting
to work over native IPV6?
So far I am unaware of any carrier grade (meaning it costs a lot of
money) softswtch platforms that are ready for this, or seem like they
would be without a multi-year effort. Anybody out there that can
enlighten us on this one?
Sincerely,
Mike Johnston
