Re: [Megaco] Local/Remote descriptors and Permanent terminations

That is what  I initially thought silence suppression was about.
But then I was told differently.
It could be applied to TDM.

If not, then why are we discussing adding silence suppresion to the

By the way,  I thought TDM-TDM calls are being made at the Gwy too.
Aren't you guys doing that now?
