asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Asterisk and SER differences

Hello All,

I have been trying to do a lot of reading lately on the Asterisk project,
and I would like to know of someone could tell me mor about the PRO's and
CON's between ASTERISK and SER?

I have heard that some people use them both in a particular VoIP design
and I would like to try and understand why you might want to do that along
with how the two can work totegher and communicate.

Any information or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lonnie

Hi

SER is a proxy, asterisk handles the media part much better, if you add
them together you get a front end proxy which can carry out all your
routing functions and then pass to ur media servers at the back.
Asterisk can also terminate the calls to pstn , with ser you will need
additional equipment, again add them together and you have a tight
solutions.
