phones and voice mail. Remarkably, you can achieve all this
with no significant additional performance burden on the net-

additional telephones — it’s that simple.
Although peer-to-peer SIP does not require a server, it can

with distributed small offices. Essentially, this solution uses
SIP routing capabilities to efficiently connect distant loca-
tions that have peer-to-peer SIP.
