[SIPForum-discussion] Mitel's MINET protocol to SIP protocol conversion ?

Tue Nov 23 11:36:00 UTC 2010

Thanks peter/steve/andrew for clarifying.. really appreciate your
discussions on this topic.

Andrew -
So if i understand you correctly, you can provide us with a software utility
which will convert between Minet and SIP ?!   i.e., take in Minet packets
and convert it to SIP packets ?

>>> so that different interpretation so of SIP can be successfully
connected.
I believe Minet is a completely different voip protocol and is not an
interpretation of sip. (from discussions with peter and steve)

Cheers,
Badri.
