By default, Asterisk will attempt to offload the media from the server so that 
it may flow directly between the phones.

There are several factors which may prevent this, though. For instance, if 
Asterisk is recording the call or needs to listen for DTMF in order to activate 
a specific feature, then Asterisk has to have the RTP flow through it.
