Joint Approach Utilizing XConnect Peering Federation Technology and Acme Packet Net-Net Session Border Controllers Demonstrates Techniques Envisioned by IETF
LONDON & BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XConnect, the leader in VoIP Peering, and Acme Packet, Inc. (NASDAQ:APKT), the leader in session border control solutions, today announced successful testing of new methods that assist in the prevention of Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT), also known as voice spam.
Unlike email spam, SPIT is still relatively uncommon and was somewhat obscure prior to the recent significant worldwide growth of VoIP communications. Now that VoIP has become more ubiquitous, the disruptive and intrusive nature of unwanted calls, coupled with the difficulty in detecting SPIT, has made this up-and-coming threat hard to ignore. Consequently, industry bodies such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) have recently begun placing increased focus on developing approaches to dealing with SPIT. |
