asterisk users - Oct 2006 - SIP vz IAX...

Hello Users.....
I'm in Dilemma with the performance  on SIP and IAX....

Can any one help ...

    1)                       Difference between the SIP and IAX... which one
is Best... in VOIP service

I'm using only SIP protocol for my  VOIP  in OpenSER...
And Also I using Asterisk in SIP....

we can Communicate the SIP and IAX by below scenario

SIP (UA) --------> OPENSER -----> ASTERISK --------> IAX (UA)....... 
this I
can do...
IAX -----------> OPENSER  ----->  ASTERISK --------->  SIP/IAX.
But main  problem  is ...
Suppose
IAX ------> ASTERISK-----------> openSER ------------> SIP / IAX  ...
How ?

Help me this.... forgive me in English.... :P

You can't - SER only talks SIP - so the devices on either side
of SER in your diagram have to support SIP.

you can have
IAX ------> ASTERISK-----------> openSER ----+-------> SIP
                                                                         
           |
                                                                         
          +------->ASTERISK2-> IAX

I've wondered about the value of a IAX->SIP gateway program, that
just acted as a protocol converter, but in the end decided that a
cut down asterisk running on an embedded device was easier
to deal with.
