Quoting Kristian Kielhofner <kkielhofner(a)star2star.com>om>:
If you are setting up media directly between your
customers and your
providers media gateways, how do you know what path it takes (in
either direction)?
Good question; down here on the gulf coast, I know pretty much how the
routes look to the PSTN from my current and future customers. Mainly
because there isn't a bunch of broadband carriers to choose from. I
know how all of them operate and how they are seen out on the 'net.
However, my business has been growing and getting customers in other
parts of the US and in those cases I just have them do a traceroute or
mtr output. If I had a customer who did have a shaky connection to
the PSTN but OK to me, in that case I would proxy the audio. But that
would be a very rare case I would expect (haven't had to do that yet).
Thanks!
