<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Thank you for the link. Chapter 8 was most useful in explaining the different types of connections (user/peer/friend) as well as the register function such that users may know how to contact another user. However I'm looking for something more specific. For instance, for a normal session termination (i.e. BYE), user1 would send msg BYE to proxy who would then forward it to user2 who would then close the connection. For a cancel request the following messages are exchanged:</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">In this scenario for instance (where user 2 closes the connection), where does Asterisk fit in? If at all? Does Asterisk behave as the proxy?</DIV>
