Thats actually not a bad analogy. I'm terrible with analogies. But yes, SER
is a pure SIP proxy server; meaning it knows nothing about the audio portion
of a call. SER can recieve a call, mangle the packets and send them on their
way.

A good example is using a single SER box to load balance a few asterisk
boxes for SIP->PSTN termination.

Hope that helps,
Matthew
