| reply to NowVOIP Re: [General] VOIP and FOIP Information
What I never understand is how hard for the VoIP industries to make a dedicated FoIP through TCP instead of UDP. With TCP, packets can be retransmitted if they didn't reach the destination. This way, the FAX is ensured to reach its destination. Since FAX doesn't need to be in a real-time transmission, it is OK with TCP. -- Mazi (UK Non-Geo Phone: +44-703-194-2574) |
