Funny, I was talking to the CTO of a small CLEC and we were talking about
Asterisk, I told him about my setup and my use of IAX, and his comment was
about IAX was such a neat idea but SIP was 100% the way to go, that the
industry would gravitate towards SIP to the excusion of every other standard
including IAX. He then concluded by saying that SIP in Asterisk was horribly
broken! lol you are screwed no matter what you do. 

Anyway, it's the same with anything about Asterisk, depending upon
circumstances, hardware, competence of maintainer, net connection, luck,
YMMV with any given feature. I've had good luck with IAX, it's a hell of
a
lot easier to deal with than SIP.
