Re: [asterisk-biz] "on-net" dialplans

Nitzan
such databases and services already exist
such as those from Xconnect and Telx

From what I understand, some of the biggest carriers use them, thus bypassing the PSTN.

FWD I think also has peering arrangements with voip providers.

I would look in those directions first, before reinventing the wheel....

I'd therefore say at this point that schemes to publish internal numbers are not worth the effort.     
 I tend to agree.. maybe in a few years.  Right now, 99.9% of our internal users calling each other do so by the PSTN number. Our outgoing dialplan just defaults to connect it directly if available, and if not sends it out to a trunk.  We do have the option to dial someone by their internal number instead, but I don't think anybody uses it. Just included it because it's cheap/free to provide and it allows people to forward SIP calls to their already-connected ATA.  Would be nice if most VSP's joined and created a database to route calls to each other via SIP instead of PSTN.. but that would take a lot more than wishful thinking to achieve... :)  -- Nitzan Kon, CEO Future Nine Corporation  _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com--  asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:    http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
