I've not looked at skype as well for a while. I remember some news some time ago about the Windows Client and maybe even the OS X client getting SIP support. I wonder if that was passed down to mobile phone Skype clients as well? Anyone want to set up some testing? We could do a video voice and then video conference to measure bandwidth usage. I'm interested to see how much more efficant the skype protocol is vs SIP or IAX and IAX2. -mmiller On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 7:39 AM, Bugbear <gbugbear at gmail.com> wrote:
One other consideration, bandwidth, again just my two cents On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 10:37 AM, Bugbear <gbugbear at gmail.com> wrote:The first thing I would do is evaluate the business need verse your ability to patch and manage it. Skype like any app has had and will have vulnerabilities in it. Also there are some settings for security and privacy that may or may not be controllable via registry, etc... Personally we block it but we also have other resources in place that allow people to get their job done (i.e. conference bridges, blackberries, etc...) A quick search on CVE DB http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=skype Hope this helps.
