    (I was going to post this to the FAQ thread, but imho it will be easier to manage if it has it's own thread.)

    I thought it'd be a good resource to have a place where all the acronyms used in VoIP are described.
    At this stage I've just put some of the obvious acronyms, but the plan is to exapnd the list and also briefly explain what each one means; so it will become a glossary.
    It would also be nice to have a hyperlink to a relevant URI with each entry, but we're not trying to be google either ;) .


    ATA - Analogue Telephone Adapter
    FoIP - Fax Over Internet Protocol
    H.323
    IAX - Inter-Asterisk eXchange
    MEGACO - MEdia GAteway COntroller
    MGCP - Media Gateway Control Protocol
    SIP - Session Initiation Protocol
    SCCP - Skinny Client Control Protocol
    VoIP - Voice Over Internet Protocol


    Please feel free to add your own contributions/corrections/suggestions to this list :)

    I find whatis.com handy for explanations :)

    New Item:
    076
    The 076 area code is the new non-geographic area code for VoIP-based services in Ireland. Standard local call rates apply when calling this area code.

    QoS - Quality Of Service

    PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network

    POTS - Plain Old Telephone Service (basically same as PSTN)
