First of all, IAX doesn't separe signalling and media, instead both go
together via the same UDP flow.
IAX is not a professional protocol and it's just used to
interconnect two

makes no
sense in this world.
Compared to H.323 SIP is cobbled together by a couple of monkeys who
only knew how to speak HTTP and had heard of a planet in a galaxy far,
far away called Telefonis where people talked to each other using tin
cans.
Calling protocol names is not productive. Separating media from the
signaling might theoretically by a "correct" concept, in practice
there's much to be said for combining them. Every time I hear someone
call anything "not professional" I get the feeling it must be
something very good because this person feels threatened by it and the
net result of that statement is the opposite -)
