SIP Proxy
A SIP proxy is used with Asterisk for two main functions:
To assist with NAT traversal and to load balance across across multiple telephony servers to build an Asterisk system that can scale to thousands of concurrent calls, handling hundreds of calls per second.
A SIP proxy is also used as part of a larger redundant deployment of Asterisk to send calls to only operational telephony servers.
