VoIP in Ad-hoc n/w

Jun 29, 2006 1 Replies

HI, Need help in desiging VoIP service for Ad-hoc n/ws. Objective is that there should be no cenralised point in it. It will be useful in scenarios like Disasters when different teams arrive and they need to communicate.


*It will use sip to communicate, (each node will be having sip server and client)
*
Routing protocol in Ad-hoc n/w will be AODV
*Each node has to broadcast its presence to others
*
There should be no IP address conflict, I thought of using Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)

So please suggest me



#What sip server will be appropriate ( SER, Asterisk, Partysip...?) #How to do DAD #Do I need any DNS services



In my view a SIP proxy server is required to make DNS queries and forward the calls to appropriate domain.... In above case......do I really need Sip proxy server......???



Need your suggestions? Gurminder



Hi, Gurminder,

If you are considering more about Ad-hoc meeting.I think a MCU is must.But no one can guarantee free SIP proxy could work smoothly with a commercial MCU.

Among commercial SIP proxies, VCON's MXM, CLICK TO MEET and Microsoft LCS support MCU well or have soft MCU(host based).

And I would recommend neither CISCO CallManager 5.0 nor CISCO SIP Proxy Server 2.X, as they do not support third party endpoint well.
