What is this thread all about? Is Asterisk "enterprise class"? The answer is obvious: It depends on your definition of "enterprise class". If you definition includes things like "RTP in/out traffic on multiple interfaces must work" then the answer is no. If you definition is somewhere along the line "can be used in most enterprises without problems" then the answer is yes. If you need a feature you at least have the possibility to code it yourself (yes, source code). Avaya&Co give you the opportunity to hand in a feature request but nothing more. Unless you pay for the feature they will probably not implement it and you have no way of doing so yourself. Asterisk does not really meet my personal definition of "enterprise class" but since there is no commonly accepted definition in the first place, why trust Digiums words on the website at all? I usually do not trust any marketing phrase like that no matter what the product is. Try Asterisk yourself and if your decision is that you cannot use it, then don't! But please stop getting on peoples nerves bashing on the term "enterprise class". It will not get you or us anywhere. If you are not satisfied with what Asterisk can achieve you have plenty of other choices. Feel free to use them. Feel free to contribute to the project. Constructive criticism is wanted (at least in most of the cases this seems to be true even though there is room for improvement, agreed). Currently you are not helping at all. Annoying is a term that comes to mind though... Kind regards, JP
