[Asterisk-Users] hierarchical VoIP system

[Joao Pereira]

And about the protocol used to create this hierarchical network?
Should I use SIP (routing between SERs) or should I use IAX (routing 
between Asterisks)?

About ENUM, Isnt the managing of the ENUM tree going to be very 
complicated and heavy when we reach the millions of users?
