Hi All,
OK so if I understand this all correctly SIP vs H.323 is how the call gets
made. Both SIP & H.323 the actually do the transfer of the Voice
content via RTP and compress using the various codec's available.
So the things that are going to effect quality are : -
* Differences in Codec's ability to compress and decompress acurately and
efficiently.
* Bandwidth available and how well it is used, less being better.
To be fair to Solwise, they are only quoting their customers experiences, I
have asked for a relative benchmark on their Pheenet gateways between H.323
and SIP communication, From what has been said, they should be identical.
I am going to assume that the SIP is CR*P means bugs in firmware/software
between devices (more than likely Microsoft bugs in Messanger) and that if
I buy kit now that these will be rectified. SWMBO may also have to live
without a new Bathroom ;-)

Dan,
you are correct, SIP stands for "Session Initiation Protocol",
it's used
for signaling - the clue being in it's name ;) , not rtp streams.
