Real Time Conference Gateway for Heterogeneous Clients: Multimedia Communication of Heterogeneous Clients Manjur Kolhar

Various standards organizations have considered signaling for voice and video over Internet Protocol(IP) from different approaches. The Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX) protocol is used as the promising VoIP protocol by the service provider because of its simplicity and NAT friendliness. Meanwhile, the Real time SWitching (RSW) has the ability to combine voice and video services. Incidentally, these two heterogeneous clients pose considerable problems for users who have to choose between two solutions offering different advantages and disadvantages. While RSW is being used in many areas, IAX is being deployed in many VoIP services. Hence, RSW interoperability and coexistence with IAX is considered very important to support new deployments that could RSW as an alternative packet telephony signaling protocol.
