[asterisk-users] IAX2 to SIP protocol translation overhead?
Just wondering if there is much CPU overhead in the translation from IAX2 to SIP, and how taxing this function is as compared to transcoding. We're trying to build an efficient system and would like to avoid taxing the CPU as much as possible. Our upstream service provider is 100% SIP, however we'd like to use IAX2 in our network as well, if it does not cause too much overhead. Not sure if it matters, but we will be running aprox 100 simultaneous calls. Thanks, David
One main disadvantage would be the media stream will pass through asterisk ( no reinvites like sip->sip ) but its not a problem if client pc'a and your asterisk server are on same network .Sip->iax conversion takes less cpu but it will be more if codec transcoding is involved .
