Hi Tudor,
First of all, let me point out a minor issue, but as there has been (and
obvious still is) a general confusion about it, I feel a need to correct
your reference to "iptel.org staff" (though, don't take this personally):
There is no such thing as
iptel.org staff.
iptel.org refers to an
open-source community with no paid staff, but with sponsors and lots of
volunteers. However, you may refer to the company
iptelorg.com
(
http://www.iptelorg.com), now a part of Tekelec Inc.
iptelorg.com/Tekelec is a sponsor of
iptel.org in both servers, Internet
access, and development work. (And I also want to point out that the
company Iptego is another of the important sponsors of
iptel.org).
iptelorg.com was (unfortunately) named at a point where the difference
didn't seem important.
I find the VSP tool interesting and can clearly see its benefit. I have
seen that others have commented on the tool not being open-source. I see
the statistics for
iptel.org free SIP service as interesting in itself
and see no harm in Iptego as a sponsor offering a commercial tool to the
community (and not much difference from other sponsor activities).
Though, I don't think you should expect too much feedback from the
community as long as it is not open-source ;-)

Hi SER users and devs,
During the past few months we, at Iptego, have been working on a
security and monitoring application for SIP sites, one of the recurring
subjects of the SER user meeting in Prague ;-). To be short, VSP is a
network intrusion detection system, which can sniff the VoIP traffic,
parse SIP messages and create alerts when something seems wrong.
As the project evolved, we have presented our work to the
iptel.org
staff and, together with them, decided to make the monitoring extension
of VSP available to all public. So, if you're interested in real time
statistics of the
iptel.org SIP site, or in the repartition of
User-Agents, you can create your own graphs here:
http://fly.iptel.org/vsp/
We have already received great feedback from the
iptel.org guys and I
hope to get even more from the rest of community.
Disclaimer: The project is BETA for now and the graphs haven't been
verified yet. I wouldn't use them for anything important.
Cheers,
Tudor Golubenco
