[App_rpt-users] What is Dahdi?

[Bob]

This is what I understand... but looking for an expert view from someone
else.

 

Dahdi - Asterisk & hardware device interface

Asterisk - telephony switching and PBX service 

Libpri - protocols used by Asterisk/Dahdi?

Zaptel - interface functionally similar to, and predating Dahdi?

OK, not being a wise-ass, not trying to be stupid, that part's covered. Just
trying to understand. 

 

 

What are the specific functions of:

 

Dahdi - Asterisk & hardware device interface

Asterisk - telephony switching and PBX service 

Libpri - protocols used by Asterisk/Dahdi?

Zaptel - interface functionally similar to, and predating Dahdi?

 

I know they are all part of the whole package, and that whole package still
has me in awe. But being very curious type I wanted to know how this all
comes together. 

 

In my simple mind I axe: why isn't Asterisk enough? I know what that one is,
but as I use app_rpt daily I wish I knew which of the above are providing
what part of the overall system.
