I am not at

find
out what each is intended to do, in words and concepts that are
familiar to
me.
In that case, I invite you to think of Kamailio as a "call router."
So this means, that if I put kamailio as a
frontend to my current
asterisk
setup, and most calls run outside asterisk, that the operator will not be
able to for example break into an already existing conversation?
If they run outside of Asterisk in both the signaling and media
respects, that is correct.
Or pull two established channels away from each
other and forcibly
redirect
them to a conference box?
Correct.
Hm, now I am getting a bit worried. Scaling up my asterisk setup using
OpenSER will definitely not be as easy as I thought...
So what parts can be done by openser itself? Can it do:
- Attended transfer?
- Call Pickup? Directed?
- Barge In (no, you already said so)
- Call recording (mid call)
- Listening-in (Training)
Also, asterisk has long had serious problems with showing callerid/connected
party after attended transfer, blind forward or call pickup. Does OpenSER have
those problems too? Does it support P-Asserted-Id or Connected Party?
If a lot of calls need one of the above features, then using kamailio
does not scale up my asterisk-based PBX too much, does it?
Thanks for your answers.
