It can be argued that is easier to configure, but I'll leave that to
sysadmins to decide. The point is Woomera is not meant to replace SIP or
compete with it, is just an easy way to distribute your TDM interfaces and
not have them in the same server where you do media processing, IVR, routing
etc.

This should leave the picture more clear

So typically you will send all your TDM calls to 1 or more Asterisk servers
running chan_woomera and any other service you want to provide in there
(including SIP outbound calls).
