Correct. > I have a question : > > Does it mean that the SIP interface has to cancel the echo from IP Phone > A ? No. VoIP part always uses different receive and transmit pathes, so there (theoretically) is no way to mix receive and transmit signals to produce echo. > This should be a real problem since it is possible that echo could be > generated by IP Phones when they are in the handsfree mode (Speaker > mode) or echo could be generated from an old IP Phone. A phone (analog or VoIP) implementing speakerphone mode should care about strong acoustic echo cancellation in this mode. Regular handset operation for best results also requires some sort of acoustic echo cancellation (to resolve signal "connections" between speaker and microphone embedded into single handset), but with correct handset design it's not so important (residual echo through accurate designed handset less than -20 dB).
