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?

Subject: [App_rpt-users] What is 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.
