[nsp] as53xx SIP and DSP

[ewc at axelero.hu]

Hello Eric,

thank you for fast response!
I thought about it and in theory it won't need DSP while voice on ISDN
is already a 64kbps PCM data stream and I can choose the right
outbound codec (hmm) - g.711 alaw or g.711 ulaw. So a signal processor
has no job with this.
But as I wrote, it is in theory. Cisco may have it differently [or my
speculation could be wrong also].
Somewhere I read around TCL IVR, that the reason Cisco can use only
g711 for voip inbound calls with IVR (I mean the IVR application is
running on voip peer), because it can't allocate DSP resources for
encoding.
I could be totally wrong...

Thanks,
        Thomas
