Also you can go for TLS, which is as concept basically
the same thing
IPSEC tunnels. The major difference is that TLS is not free as IPSEC
is.
TLS not being part of free ser is indeed a problem. i think it is the
only feature mandated by rfc3261 that is not included in free ser.
i fully understand that iptel needs to make money somehow in order to
keep its developers on the payroll, but i feel that a mandatory feature
should not be hold back. there still is plenty of other value add that
iptel can produce even if tls would be in public domain.
so what can be done about it? the easiest thing would, of course, be
that iptel changes its policy and makes their tls implementation as part
of free ser. if that is not acceptable to iptel, then i guess the only
remaining alternative is that other ser developers try to implement TLS
support for ser and commit it to cvs.
any comments?
