thank you very much guys, your comments are highly appreciated, unfortunately it is not up
to me to decide the media gw to use.
But I will forward this thread to the other teammates so that we all know that we may make
a switch in the future.
thank you all again

Alex, I understand your point and appreciate your
input highly, but let's
say that asterisk is needed as the media server for other reasons. It may
not scale as well as the other solutions but we need them to be there to
provide other services. I just wanted to know whether there was any
difference aside from the scalabilty issue.
We were under the impression that it was imperative to use either
media-proxy or rtp-proxy but after examining in more detail how the 2
solutions work we find no reason not to use asterisk as the media proxy as
well. Unless of course we are missing the big picture here and surely will
find out once we set out to test it. But given the deep knowledge of a lot
of people in this forum we deemed necessary to ask about the feasibility of
this workaround. If somebody detects any flaw on this solution or if there
is someting else critical or not that we are missing we would love to hear
it .
thank you in advance and thank you Alex again,

Hi Juan, As an advice to you, use Asterisk ONLY to link to the PSTN if you
have to, no more.
Vmail, conference, call parking and all the fancy Class 5 services could be
done just with Kamailio+RTProxy/MediaProxy+Sems/any other b2bua
Using Asterisk for the Class 5 services not only doen's scale you will find
also other problems as "spiral calls, call forward with more than one jump,
CDR problems, codec negotiation problems, no fax support, etc.".
Asterisk it's a very buggy b2bua, not to mention that it's a PBX that do
things "it's own way", it what not dessign with Carrier Class services in
mind and more sooner than later you will end crashing with a wall of thing
you could not do.
Best regards
