Hi John, What advantage does the architecture on the following webpage provide? - http://wiki.projectdiastar.org/index.php/Project_DiaStar_Server_-_SIGTRAN Would it not be better to provide a M3UA implementation that resides on the Asterisk server rather than a separate server? The use of Routing Contexts and Routing Keys in M3UA would help to distribute traffic across multiple Asterisk platforms.
