[Speex-dev] An Open source phone based on Speex

[Diana Cionoiu]

Hi Farhan,

What is the purpose of the protocol? Just to be a binary form a SIP?
I mean conferencing, PTT, chat we have in h.323, sip, jingle, iax?
What is the reason for a new one? The NAT traversal has been fixed for a 
while for all those protocols also.
