If you're going to be doing significant wholesale minutes, especially if some
of your customers have no ability to filter / pre-qualify their traffic, you're
going to need some robust SBC deployments with some serious hardware behind
it. For the amount of traffic we do, and the customization that we
require, Acme has really been the only viable solution for us. We have an
extensive farm of them online.<br>
<br>
We, too, have a Broadsoft Broadworks platform. In hindsight, it might
have been a ten pound sledge for a ten penny nail on our network. For the
high price, it really would have made more sense for us if there were far more
customers on our network with IP phones that wanted fully hosted VoIP.
Most SMB/SME with ip-capable PBXes or VoIP IADs feeding legacy PBXes are just
as easily (and far more cost efficiently) peered directly with one of the SBC
deployments. No complaints about the functionality or stability of the BS-BW,
however.<br>

I'm the lucky (!!?) owner of a Vocaldata/Tekelec/GENBAND/Broadsoft M6
soft switch. I'm looking at replacing it with a Broadsoft Broadworks
switch. Anyone out there familiar with both switches? Any opinions
of the stability/feature set of Broadworks would be welcome!<br>
<br>
If you have Broadworks, which SBC are you using? Anyone using
OpenSIPS to front end BWorks?<br>
<br>
Send me on or off-list responses, your preference.<br>

Thanks<br>
