[asterisk-users] IAX2 to SIP protocol translation overhead?

[Vicky]

One main disadvantage would be the media stream will pass through asterisk (
no reinvites like sip->sip ) but its not a problem if client pc'a and your
asterisk server are on same network .Sip->iax conversion takes  less cpu but
it will be more if codec transcoding is involved .
