Asterisk is a no-SIP-proxy-at-all :-)

Again: Asterisk is not a SIP proxy. A SIP proxy doesn't handle media streams and
doesn't terminate or originate calls. Asterisk does.

Asterisk is a stateful SIP UAS (User Agent Server) or UAC (User Agent Client) that
has some characteristics of a stateful SIP proxy, but in most cases no similarity
at all.

Asterisk is a SIP registration server, though.
