Hate to see Chicago off the list. A lot of people have VPS's colo'd in Chi-town (popular location and cheap!) and the 2 ms hop is kind of awesome. I happen to be a believer in the "low ping" church, be it reality or just superstition. One thing I would like to see is automagic failover if a POP shits the bed. -- If someone refers to herself / himself as a "guru", they probably aren't.

I vote for that idea. I am quite happy with the services and as far as super nodes I am ok with it.... Though I am very happy with the Houston POP and I wouldn't like to change from there :P -- [nUll@dcypher ~]$

azmike join:2012-07-19 Phoenix, AZ	reply to nunya Am actually not in favor of super POPs at all. • Prefer the flexibility offered by current topology. • We have a relatively simple script run from cron on our asterisk box that essentially parses "asterisk -rx 'iax2 show registry'" with appropriate delays/retries. • If necessary, Using Voip.ms API this allows automatic fail over under our control. • We used to have a great route to Seattle. As of 10/24/12 it's been very "flakey" for lack of a better term. I'm afraid we'll get "load balanced" on to a bad route autonomously. A couple questions that come to mind if you did implement this. • Could you provide in advance all possible IP's that will be "SRV'ed" up? Only reason I ask is it would fit our existing firewall policy nicely. Actually switching to IAX from SIP has helped however Voip.ms is not our only provider. SIP/RTP along with a couple other RTP "like things" that we use have made firewalling tricky. • I'm assuming RTP would still be proxy'ed as it is today?

You just reminded me the night mare I went through with CC and their DNS SRV and having to guess the blocks and IP's I hope that if voip.ms does go that route that they are open to share that information via ticket for their customers. If not than... I vote No to the DNS SRV idea. -- [nUll@dcypher ~]$
