I have been meaning to post this, but kept forgetting (or procrastinating). I did get SIP Trunks from Iway Africa. The service is managed by one, Vincent Thuo who, IMHO, offers excellent service & support. The guy understands his game, I must say. My Internet connection is with Access Kenya, but that does not affect the quality of the voice, both local and International. The monthly fees are quite reasonable (well, I don't have anyone else locally to compare with) and the destination charges too seem reasonable to me. Well, charges aside, the service is super. Running without hitches. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
Hi, I needed some details on SIP Trunking Solution; - What security mechanisms have you implemented? IPSEC or TLS etc? - What Bandwidth did you require to run both SIP and Data? - Any QoS or traffic marking implemented ? - How many Public IPs were required?

Hi,
I needed some details on SIP Trunking Solution;
- What security mechanisms have you implemented? IPSEC or TLS etc?
I did not require any security for this. It's not a VPN Tunnel, but rather a simple "Internet connection". My IP PBX (Avaya IPO500v2) is behind a NAT Router (Cisco 1841). The SIP Gateway is at Iway Africa side. In this scenario, noone cares about the security at each others end, as long as the VoIP Switches can establish the trunk.
- What Bandwidth did you require to run both SIP and Data?
I have 2/3Mbps.
- Any QoS or traffic marking implemented ?
Yes. A simple QoS config on the Cisco ensures that VoIP traffic always has priority and is guaranteed 50% of the available bandwidth at any given time. I don't care much about the other forms of traffic as they are not important.
- How many Public IPs were required?
Well, I managed to do this using a single public IP on the Cisco. The PABX is behind NAT. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
Do you require a Username/Password combo or Digest to authenticate on the SIP Gateway? If not isn't there a risk of toll fraud ? On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 3:51 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

In the Iway Africa setup, no. They authenticate you by your IP address. I don't see how the risk of toll fraud can creep in - unless someone can route your IP through a link different than the one it's routed through. Enlighten me on how you think the fraud can occur.
