I love them. I know people with hundreds of them and I know people running several gigabit/s through them.<br><br>I never used anything but Asterisk before - no SBCs. Not sure what they cost, but the saying goes, "If you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it." Actually, I just found some on VoIP Supply. Of course, they are priced awkwardly enough where if they are useful, then they're worth it, but if not, then I feel like a fool. It will be kinda interesting with my environment as everything I have is run in a VMWare cluster, so I'd have one plugged into each of my switches for both LAN and WAN.<br><br><div><span name="x"></span><br><br>-----<br>Mike Hammett<br>Intelligent Computing Solutions<br>http://www.ics-il.com<span name="x"></span><br></div><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Oren Yehezkely" <orenyny@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>sipwise@ics-il.net<br><b>Cc: </b>"spce-user" <spce-user@lists.sipwise.com><br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, April 29, 2013 1:57:49 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: routers Vs SBC<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Mike,<br><br></div>Can i take the opportunity that you mentioned Microtik and ask you hoe do you like it?<br>I got one to try but found it difficult to configure.<br><br>Also, do you guys prefer a router or an SBC (something like Edgewater EdgeMarc).<br>
</div>It seems that the EddgeMarc combines the MicroTic capabilities but adds more features for VoIP.<br><br></div>What do you think?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Oren<br><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

that detect a given number of packets per second of a given type
destined towards my servers, then firewall it off when it exceeds that.
SIP isn't an overly chatty protocol, so a given IP shouldn't have say
more than 100 packets per second from a valid client, but would from
