[Serusers] SER in production VOIP environment

[Iqbal]

Hi

Depends on what you really want to do, and how you wish to scale, 
several setups which I have been invloved with use a combo of SER and 
asterisk, asterisk is great for alot of pbx functionality, but to be 
honest SER and asterisk can be awkward to get right all the time, 
passing mof message back and forth etc etc.

SER is a great proxy, and can handle all the registrations, althought it 
would be nice if there were a nice clustering solution for it, which 
worked with NAT, but i am sure that will come along soon enough, even 
with 3rd party apps like LVS. But even as a stand alone it can handle 
alot of queries, but as with nething fine tuning is time-based process 
and you cannot really build it to perfection on day one.

Asterisk can also handle gateway functionaility, and its a personal 
choice if you opt for oneof these or cisco box or something. carrier 
grade is not a easy option, and cannot be built overnight, but thats the 
great thing "build it and they will come" :-).
