Although it's a good idea to combine OpenSIPs and Asterisk, the problem you have is a fundamental architecture issue. 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>
<br>Even having a complete understanding of Asterisk and OpenSIPs, this is a difficult question to answer.<br><br>The typical "generic" recommedation for scalability would be to use Asterisk only for media applicaitons that really need it.. like Voicemail for example. <br>
<br>And as another reply had suggested transcoding is another place it could be used.<br><br>Personally, I'd take the approach to use asterisk in as few places as possible. I'd also seriously consider using Freeswitch as an alternative for asterisk in media applications.<br>

Hello, I am testing asterisk for a while, but because i am planning to<br>
have a large installation, i decided to install opensips as sip proxy.<br>
<br>
Just I am all messed up..<br>
I have some questions in my mind..<br>
<br>
First of all,<br>
There are 2 user databases ..one for asterisk and one for opensips as i see.<br>
Where should i create users???<br>
In asterisk??<br>
And, on the web i find only example configs about openser and there are<br>
some slight differences in configurations with opensips..<br>
So, Any running config example for opensips or a how-to document will be<br>
so helpful for me..<br>
<br>
I am planning to install 3 opensip servers in a roundrobin order to serve<br>
the users.. And a central asterisk server between my real pbx and<br>
opensips.(Maybe with an offline asterisk backup) .<br>
So Really any any info will be great..because i am total stranger to<br>
opensips right now..<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot.<br>
<br>
<br>
