The paper is definitely interesting and I commend them for their effort but it doesn't represent a complete understanding of the Skype protocol to the extent that an Asterisk server could speak the Skype protocol. They say that much of the Skype protocol is encrypted and needs to be inferred to this point from the types and locations of messages that are being sent.

MARK.

Hi all!

I am aware of products like http://www.rsdevs.com/psgw_sip.shtml which
act as a gateway, but what I'd really like is a for example an Asterisk
module that can route calls to Skype, perhaps the same
principle as IAX2?

I'm assuming more people are interested in this, but... does it exist
already?
There is no such thing yes, and as Skype is closed source, it'll have to
wait until someone reverse-engineers it...

(Sniffing the protocol will be hard, as it is - supposedly - encrypted)

2 guys (Schulzrinne and Baset] of Columbia University have done it. See
