[asterisk-users] sip.conf for talking to other Asterisk machines

[Forrest Beck]

I use two user's per host one for user and the other peer.  Sort of
like attahed.

I also prefer IAX for communication between asterisk boxes.  IAX use's
less bandwidth than SIP and it's trunks are alot smaller.  If you look
at SIP traffic, 80% of it is headers.  The headers look just like smtp
headers.

Even if your clients are using SIP to communicate to asterisk using
SIP, the asterisk servers will maintain the trunked connection route
the traffic for your SIP phones.
