Ah, but how would you know what IPs your inbound call should be trusted from for your SBCs? It's hard enough to get people properly interopped when the calling activity is planned, let alone have random endpoints hit your network. Are they going to use E.164? Should they send npdi/rn data? Should you trust the calling party information being sent? How do you know the original caller is even a legitimate telco and not some telemarketer going on a rampage connecting directly with everything? If you are getting problematic (abusive, illegal) inbound calls, how do you look up that IP to know who to complain about? Is WHOIS enough?

Put the call on the IP packet path if it's voice and use TDM only for faxing which I wish would disappear for goodness sakes.
