This is an example of the hardware that allows this, not an example of where it's used, but the technology exists and is certainly in use for all sorts of interesting solutions: http://www.rad.com/20/TDM-Pseudowire/2561/ -----Original Message----- From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Jay Ashworth Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 10:04 AM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] VoIP traffic survey ----- Original Message -----

My apologies, I'm not following you here -- can you give me an example of a TDM traffic (i.e. T-1 or DS-3) flowing over the Internet?

Didn't say it had to be TDM. I am a VoIP end-user. I pick up my desk phone to make a call, and my PBX routes it. It might go: * To a local PSTN gateway, and out over traditional TDM (or analog) lines, or * To a commercial gateway provider, or * Direct to the other end's PBX as a 'native' VoIP call In either case, it might get there over * Private, dedicated IP networking, or * The Internet. The 6 sextants are "who operates the gateway" multiplied by "who owns the wires I use to get there". Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
