What is a VoIP Peering Fabric
Voice Peering Fabric (VoIP), as launched by Stealth Communications, is a private voice Internet that enables the users to communicate via peer-to-peer connections and also functions as a junction for exchange of VoIP traffic. If VPF gains popularity, its users can hope to route their traffic without having to depend on the PSTN providers. The VPF application service providers allow the customers to execute transactions in a transparent manner. VPF includes features like caller ID, LNP, 800 services, etc.
A single VPF ethernet connection is sufficient for managing access to multiple services and allows companies to do away with separate TDM connections. VPF has an ENUM database registry that limits the VoIP calls to within the IP domain on the VPF. The VPF ENUM database conforms to the IETF ENUM standard 3761. This allows VPF interoperability with devices made by companies such as Cisco and Nextone. However, according to Joe Laszlo, Analyst at Jupiter Research, VoIP peering as offered by companies like Stealth Communications and Arbinet will not pose a serious threat to traditional telephony for quite some time.
