Re: Emergency VoIP Update

[Ben Teitelbaum <>]

Tyler,

This is very interesting and would certainly be a big value-add for
Internet2 H.323 VoIP testbed participants.  All the more reason to
keep pushing to integrate the two dialing plans.

I should mention that Broadsoft and the MAX are working on a SIP-based
disaster recovery trial in the DC area.  Chris Peabody (Georgetown)
will be briefing the VoIP WG on this at the next meeting (April 8th).

There are certainly a number of possible architectures for providing
disaster recovery services.  It might be fun to get a bunch of us
together in DC to explore these.
