[Serusers] difference between SER and ASTERISK

SER does signaling. It does not pass RTP (voice). You register with SER and
you ask SER if someone else is registered so as to get their IP address and
communicate with them directly.

Asterisk is an end user (a UA). It can act as a gateway by being a SIP
endpoint and PSTN starting point. The RTP stream would actually go through
it. I do not know if it does SIP registration/lookup as an add-on to the PBX
functionality. Asterisk provides IVR.

Hello,

SER is a SIP proxy, Asterisk is a PBX and back-to-back user
agent, they are different by the purpose.
