[Serusers] Re: [Serdev] SIP Security and Monitoring tool running on iptel.org

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 ;-) g-) Tudor Golubenco wrote: > 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 ;-).
