asterisk users - Jul 2003 - How does Asterisk handle connecting two IP end points?

When a connection is carried between two IP end
points, does the Asterisk server incur CPU usage to
pass the voice bearing circuit between the two end
points? Is it possible to have Asterisk setup the call
but hand off the voice traffic to be handled directly
between the two end points?

Thanks!
Chip

IIRC asterisk by default will not participate in the call between two SIP
phones.. It will help establish the session to the correct UA and then have
nothing more to do with it unless the call is transferred to another UA in which
case Asrerisk will again be involved in setting up the call..

So no when 2 SIP UA'a are connected there should be no CPU load on the
Asterisk server..

Hope that helps..
