[Asterisk-Users] OPENSER / SER and Asterisk

[BILL GITONGA]

Asterisk does to scale well. Use OpenSER or SER as a
front end to asterisk. Make all the sip traffic go
through ser and only go to Asterisk for voicemail, IVR
i.e media stuff. If you connect to the PSTN using sip,
then SER would be used for routing all PSTN calls.
