Davide,

Obviously you *are* based on the info below! ;-)

Sure... I forgot that your note said the call control was Skinny vs  
SIP.  The diagram is still basically the same... and is generally  
true for most of the VoIP protocols out there.  Call control  
signaling (SIP, Skinny or otherwise) goes between the phones and the  
call server while media (almost always RTP) goes directly from one  
phone to the other.  Some systems can be set up to have the media go  
back through a media gateway in more of a "star" configuration but  
most VoIP systems I'm aware of do have the endpoints (like IP phones)  
streaming directly point-to-point (assuming they are on the same LAN/ 
WAN).

Interesting.

I don't.  It's admittedly been a year or two since I did any serious  
usage of sniffing tools on Linux.  (And I'm a Mac user now.)
