<p dir="ltr">Your biggest hurdle is going to be the latency - at those delays, people will absolutely hear the delay, and it will cause usability issues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would only allow the SIP connections to come via VPN tunnels, or from known DNS names, and run something like DynDNS. Resolves a few issues (if your VPN defeats CGNAT, your SIP connections never deal with it as they come straight down the tunnel).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Consider using G729 encoding rather than G711 - it sacrifices a small amount of quality for a big improvement in bandwidth utilisation. That said, a single SIP connection on G711 won't come close to filling the bandwidth you're talking about (though you may want to implement some QoS on the client side to ensure SIP connectivity in preference to other traffic.</p>

Hi Noggers,<br>
<br>
We've recently been tasked with assisting getting SIP running from
Australia to the
Philippines for remote staff workers on DSL tails. SIP server is in
Sydney, behind Vocus transit.<br>
<br>
It appears that CGNAT is a hurdle, plus 350-450ms of latency, and
the inability to obtain a static IP on a 'residential' grade tail.<br>
<br>
We're now using Fortigate SSL VPN tunnel as a solution, and just
routing the SIP server down the split tunnel, but not sure if this
really makes the situation worse or not, and I'm looking to hear
other ideas and battle stories!<br>
<br>
What are people using out there to deliver a reliable service that
sounds good? -plus:<br>
<br>
- Get around CGNat RTP Audio/SIP transport issues<br>
- Ensure SIP server is not open to the world due to dynamic IP's
connecting<br>
- Keep the bandwidth requirements to a minimum - Assume low speed
DSL (2M/512k)<br>
<br>
Direct carrier links are not a possibility unfortunately as the
staff all work from home offices.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Luke<br>
