Guillaume, merci beaucoup - thanks a lot. The links were very useful, especially tech-inivite, the owner of the site did a great job. I got three books last night as well: Asterisk, Understanding SIP (Alan Johnston) and Practical VOIP Security.
>From the books and the website I can only understand that Asterisk comes in as a registrar/location server. In other contexts, such as a p2p environment, I assume that no proxies are used and no location server is required either. So my question is again, where does Asterisk fit in? I can perhaps see that in an incoming call screening scenario (as depicted here: http://www.tech-invite.com/Ti-sip-service-14.html) Asterisk acts as the announcement server. But in other cases, such as 'transfer unattended' or 'call forwarding - busy' (http://www.tech-invite.com/Ti-sip-service-8.html), there is no apparent need for Asterisk, is that correct? I would tremendously appreciate a little more detail on scenarios where Asterisk is required/used.
