Сравнение IAX2 и SIP


  1. IAX is information-element encoded rather than ASCII encoded. This makes implementations substantially simpler and more robust to buffer overrun attacks since absolutely no text parsing or interpretation is required. The IAXy runs its entire IP stack, IAX stack, TDM interface, echo canceller, and callerid generation in 4k of heap and stack and 64k of flash. Clearly this demonstrates the implementation efficiency of its design. The size of IAX signalling packets is phenomenally smaller than those of SIP, but that is generally not a concern except with large numbers of clients frequently registering. Generally speaking, IAX2 is more efficient in its encoding, decoding and verifying information, and it would be extremely difficult for an author of an IAX implementation to somehow be incompatible with another implementation since so little is left to interpretation.
  2. IAX has a very clear layer2 and layer3 separation, meaning that both signalling and audio have defined states, are robustly transmitted in a consistant fashion, and that when one end of the call abruptly disappears, the call WILL terminate in a timely fashion, even if no more signalling and/or audio is received. SIP does not have such a mechanism, and its reliability from a signalling perspective is obviously very poor and clumsy requiring additional standards beyond the core RF3261.
  3. IAX's unified signalling and audio paths permit it to transparently navigate NAT's and provide a firewal administrator only a *single* port to have to open to permit its use. It requires an IAX client to know absolutely nothing about the network that it is on to operate. More clearly stated, there is *never* a situation that can be created with a firewall in which IAX can complete a call and not be able to pass audio (except of course if there was insufficient bandwidth).
5 IAX's authenticated transfer system allows you to transfer audio and call control off a server-in-the-middle in a robust fashion such that if the two endpoints cannot see one another for any reason, the call continues through the central server.
  1. IAX clearly separates Caller*ID from the authentication mechanism of the user. SIP does not have a clear method to do this unless Remote-Party-ID is used.
  2. SIP is an IETF standard. While there is some fledgling documentation courtesy Frank Miller, IAX is not a published standard at this time.
  3. IAX allows an endpoint to check the validity of a phone number to know whether the number is complete, may be complete, or is complete but could be longer. There is no way to completely support this in SIP.
  4. IAX always sends DTMF out of band so there is never any confusion about what method is used.
  5. IAX support transmission of language and context, which are useful in an Asterisk environment. That's pretty much all that comes to mind at the moment.
