[Asterisk-Users] Re: [Serusers] Newbie question: asterisk and ser

[Emilio Panighetti]

You can do all of with with each one, and with both at the same time 
(.e., register your UAs through ser to in term rute to Asterisk.

Ser is, simply put. a (stateless) SIP Proxy. It's like a SIP 
layer-level router. Which is good if you need something that can scale 
a lot.
Asterisk is a full-featured B2BUA, with a different logic and many 
applications that go beyond SIP routing. Asterisk can also interconnect 
dissimilar technologies like PSTN, SIP, H.323, MGCP, SCCP, IAX, but you 
won't get the came CPS (calls per second) as with Ser. If you have less 
than a few thousand phones, maybe Asterisk is all you need.
