[VoiceOps] Geographic redundancy

[Kenny Sallee]

Yes IP makes it easier but you still have to 'plugin' to the PSTN somewhere
and in some fashion correct?  Unless you have nothing but SIP peering it
does get a little more complicated (although I'm new to the VoIP world and
do not know SS7).  Then you still have to worry about your call processing
platform: can it live with being greater than x ms apart from it's redundant
pair?  What about CDR's and reporting - how do you merge those coming from
multiple sources?  I would think there's also rate center and latency issues
as well with outbound routing of calls (send calls out the cheapest carrier
that will allow it).  I don't think any of it's impossible, but the presence
of IP doesn't remove all complexity.

I like David's idea of a VoiceOps working group to help define options.
Sounds like fun
Kenny
