Thanks for the explanation!
ports vs. channels - terminology confusion
by heby Thu 27 of Nov, 2008
I've been somewhat puzzled by the terminology I see on wholesale / enterprise VoIP providers' web pages. What exactly do they mean when they talk about a "port"? E.g. "$30.00 Per Port Unlimited Inbound" - is that something like a "maximum number of simultaneous channels I can use"? And would a DID be tied to a particular port or could I receive an inbound call on any port? Does an outgoing call also take up a port?

Thanks
