Seysen,

It uses Asterisk and OpenSER as the underlying telephony platform, but 
has taken away control of almost all call routing and billing functions 
from them. It basically uses them almost as an advanced SIP/IAX/E1 
"library". For example, a carrier Enswitch system may only have 10 or 15 
lines in extensions.conf.

All the complexity is done within the Enswitch routing daemon, which 
communicates with Asterisk via FastAGI, and a Perl module that OpenSER 
invokes using its Perl integration. In addition, we have added a SOAP 
API, web interface, SIP messaging daemon, etc which we have written from 
scratch. We've done this because, although Asterisk and OpenSER are good 
products as platforms, they don't have the concept of multi-tenant 
customers, real-time billing, LCR, invoicing, etc etc.

We released version 2.7 just over a week ago with many new features.
For the latest list of features which Enswitch has either enhanced or 
added, please see:

I can also send you a list of updates off-list of you like.
