[asterisk-users] Asterisk architecture

[Vikki]

I think you can use asterisk for your sip implementation.

As you already know, SIP is peer to peer and you don't need asterisk when u
want to communicate just between two users. If you are thinking about having
more than 2 users (say 25) in the setup, Asterisk will help you there. In
this case, Asterisk will be the SIP registrar/feature server for all the
users. Sip UA (users) will send the requests to asterisk and asterisk will
route the call appropriately.

Hope this helps
