[asterisk-users] asterisk is not sip proxy

[Edgar Guadamuz]

Hello Asteriskers,

I'm confused about why Asterisk is not a SIP proxy and why exactly
this can affect the performance of a large Asterisk system.

I know that Asterisk acts as a useragent endpoint, but my doubt is why
exactly Asterisk could overload the call flow if the RTP voice stream
goes from the caller to the called party.

Does someone know how many calls or pencentaje that could handle a SER
or OpenSER in comparison with Asterisk?
