Both can act as a registrar, both can route calls. <br><br>You may not like the way asterisk does it (I certainly don't). But they both can do it. Yes, you can setup phones to register to asterisk and opensips to provide LCR. Alternatively, you can have opensips as a registrar and asterisk do the lcr. Yeah, asterisk doing LCR would be nuts, but it can do it. I certainly wouldn't recommend it. But the point is, deciding which platform you want to do what.<br>
<br>And as far as what asterisk "is designed for". That's entirely a matter of opinion. I personally think it's designed for a low grade pbx. While others will argue that they distribute thousands of calls with it (in fact compare it to opensips even!).<br>
<br>I see several places of overlap, and like I said, each product has it's own strenghs. It's simply a matter of opinion.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 8:33 AM, Alex Balashov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:abalashov@evaristesys.com">abalashov@evaristesys.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Both OpenSIPs and Asterisk are telephony toolkits and both provide similar features (some better than others). So you're task is to figure out what you want to do on which box.<br>

I would have to disagree; there is virtually zero imaginable correlation (that I can see) between what Asterisk provides - or is designed for - and what OpenSIPS does. They seem to be most emphatically dissimilar.<br><font color="#888888">
