Forgive the newbie question, but what is this distinction? In what cases is a connection 'trunking' or 'not'? If I have a "register =>" statement in my iax.conf file, is that a trunked connection to my DiD provider? Thanks!
You must set trunk=yes in the context of the relevant provider. Not all providers support it. The benefit of trunking grows exponentially with the number of calls in progress. -mark On Jan 31, 2005, at 2:24 AM, Spencer Nassar wrote:> > The test results that Philipp pointed out show some protocol > comparisons that include "iax2 trunking / alaw" and "iax2 / alaw" and > concludes that "IAX2 trunking is more than twice as fast as non > trunking IAX." > > Forgive the newbie question, but what is this distinction?

I think is one port higher than the data port!?!?!?! IAX has a saving for this to maybe? If that's wrong then I stand corrected but that's my laymans understanding. alex This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright protected.
