Page 4 INTRODUCTION NXGW-XET1 Gateway is an open-source Asterisk-based VoIP Gateway. It is a converged media gateway prod- uct. This kind of gateway connects traditional telephone systems to IP networks and integrates VoIP PBX with the PSTN seamlessly. With a friendly GUI, users may easily set up their customized Gateway. Also, secondary development can be completed through AMI (Asterisk Management Interface).

Should we send timestamps for the individual sub_frames within trunk frames? There is a small bandwith use for these (less than 1kbps/call), but they ensure that frame timestamps get sent end-to-end properly. If both Trunk Time Stamps ends of all your trunks go directly to TDM, _and_your trunkfreq equals the frame length for your codecs, you can probably suppress these.
