<HTML><BODY>  <p class="MsoPlainText"><span>Dear Asterisk developers,</span></p>  <p class="MsoPlainText"><span>&nbsp;</span></p>  <p class="MsoPlainText"><span>I am currently writing my bachelor thesis in computer science. It&#39;s all about asterisk with a special focus on security (SIP over TLS &amp; SRTP). So far so good, but now I have a question regarding SIP encryption in Asterisk. I noticed that voice traffic (RTP) flows from the caller&#39;s phone directly to the callee&#39;s phone without passing through Asterisk server. Now that sounds pretty logic to me.</span></p>  <p class="MsoPlainText"><span>But the moment I activate SIP over TLS the route of the voice traffic changes so that it now all flows from the caller&#39;s phone to the server and from the server further on to the callee&#39;s phone. Why did this route change? Are there some legal reasons for that?</span></p>  <p class="MsoPlainText"><span>Thanks a lot for your efforts.</span></p>  <p
