<div>hi,</div>
<div> SER is less about the number of callers than it is about the number of registered sip clients. Without NAT issues a pizza box server with SER can essentially register an unlimited number of SIP clients.</div>
<div>With larger numbers of SIP clients i find SER handles them much better than asterisk.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now, i know this is unorthodox, but i route EVERY call through asterisk, even calls between SER users, for a few reasons:</div>
<div>1. billing - asterisk is much better at keeping CDRs</div>
<div>2. call control - asterisk can stay in the media path if neccesary, SER won't (by default, although you can use a b2bua), and for things like prepay calling cards this is a neccesity.</div>
<div>3. significantly easier to use dialing logic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>on the down side, i still havent gotten my old setup with autocreatepeer=yes in my sip.conf and rewritehostport in ser.cfg working on 1.2 - anyone have any ideas about that?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>hope this helps,</div>

<div style="DIRECTION: ltr">Hello:<br><br>I noticed in few references that asterisk and ser and complementary. <br>Meaning asterisk handles connections to PSTN and voicemail but SER is better for routing SIP traffic.<br>
<br>Is anyone using just asterisk for production purpose. Meaning serving a high number of callers. <br><br>Is it mandatory to use SER behind asterisk? <br><br>your feedback would appreciated.<br> </div>
