Cisco Skinny (SCCP) or SIP?

Asked by shaf81 in Voice Over IP, IP Telephony

Hello experts!

I'm involved with a small voip company and we offer customers with SIP based calling services. However in some countries likes UAE, Qatar, Oman etc SIP is totally blocked. The provider blocks the 5060 port and we send calls via some other port until that gets blocked. Sometimes they block the IP off and we have to try and open a new IP.

As an alternative I've been wondering if Cisco Skinny (SCCP) might be an option. Most of my customers are Softphone users and I found there are a few softphones the customers can use with Skinny.

I've never worked with Skinny and know nothing much about it. I have a few questions.

1) customers connect to the server from all parts of the globe. Is Skinny a light weight protocol (Like SIP) and would it be feasible to use skinny over the public internet?

2) what type of codec's does Skinny support?

3) In case the ISP blocks the SCCP port (2000), is skinny able to work on alternative ports?

4) Is there any company's out there which offer Hosted Call Manager services / Rent Call manager partitions / ports for me to test SCCP in blocked regions?

5) Does Cisco Call Manager have full support for Radius AAA so I can work with my existing Radius based billing?

Thats all i've got to ask :)
