Asterisk is not a sip proxy but it *can* partly act as a sip proxy if reinvites are enabled ( canreinvite=yes in sip.conf ) only then asterisk connects 2 end points directly and does signalling between them . Asterisk is a PBX now suppose u need to record all calls ..do conferencing stuff then rtp stream need to pass from asterisk ( openser cant do this bcoz it just connects 2 endpoints and only does signalling ) .. If you do canreinvite=yes in sip.conf for both peers then asterisk does only signalling ( also dial command should not have transfer parameters tT .. ) . If both peers are behind NAT then asterisk reinvites may not work properly .

Dear Edgar; I am little bit confused, do u mean that asterisk does not work in that way: RTP (media) to be from the sournce to the destination directly while signaling to be via asterisk? So, what he parameter canreinvite is doing? Regards, ------------ ITS Ip Telephony and Contact Center Engineer Eng. Bilal Ghayad Mobile: 00965 9849460 Hello Asteriskers, I'm confused about why Asterisk is not a SIP proxy and why exactly this can affect the performance of a large Asterisk system. I know that Asterisk acts as a useragent endpoint, but my doubt is why exactly Asterisk could overload the call flow if the RTP voice stream goes from the caller to the called party. Does someone know how many calls or pencentaje that could handle a SER or OpenSER in comparison with Asterisk? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.
