is this a rule too:<br />
Between routers and phones use POTS<br />
between routers only use VOIP<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have seen a configuration on a router using:<br />
#Dial -peer- voice 2222 Pots<br />
#Destination pattern 22222<br />
#port 0/1/0<br />
<br />
is POTS used only when configuring an analog phone plugged to FXS port ?<br />
if it was a digital phone, would we replace POTS keyword with VOIP in the configuration above??<br />
<br />
I also have seen a configuration between Routers, but they use VOIP<br />
something like:<br />
#Dial -peer- voice 2222 VOIP<br />
<br />
so is between routers , it has &nbsp;to alwasy be VOIP and never POTS ??<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

VOIP and POTS

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).

Voice Over IP

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
