asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Packet2Packet Bridging Questions

I'm just starting to upgrade some boxes from 1.2.x to 1.4.1 as well  
as trying to get some of the RTP traffic offloaded from the network.   
I think I'm misunderstanding what the console messages mean when it  
says "Packet2Packet Bridding SIP/blah to SIP/blah".  I though that  
meant that it had successfully (re)INVITED and the media was no  
longer going through my Asterisk box, but ethereal says different.

I'm not having much luck finding any information on this on the wiki  
or google.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Daryl

Packet2Packet Bridging = Audio is not going through the Asterisk core, 
it comes into the RTP stack and goes directly out. This decreases the 
amount of memory allocation that happens, and things require less 
processing.

Native Bridging = Audio was reinvited between the two endpoints so it 
(should) go direct.
