What Is VoIP Peering?

I use to play a simulation called Falcon 4.0 in the late nineties and I use to play it online with friends and we would fly missions together. We would stay in touch with each other in the virtual skies using a little comms program called Roger Wilco. It would allow us to stay in touch with each other and coordinate attacks and such. unbeknownst to me I was using VoIP peering and didn't even know it. Peering is when two or more VoIP products gets together and 'talks' with each other. It could be a SIP based phone-to-phone call, a phone-to-computer running MSN Messenger, or a computer-to-computer using Skype for example. It is also when the telephone system is bypassed to complete the call. So to be VoIP peering you need two things in place. First you have to bypass the traditional phone system and second the call needs to be placed between two VoIP devices.

DIDX.net is poised to offer VoIP peering with ALL its numbers that are in use. DIDX.net is able to do this because all of its DIDs terminate on SIP (or AIX2) phones, devices, or other computers running the required software.
