Asterisk is an open source PBX and FreeSWITCH is an open source soft switch. Source: http://www.freeswitch.org/node/117
Can you please explain the difference between PBX and soft switch in less technical terms
Examples illustrating the difference between the two would be highly appreciated.
Asterisk has Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI), using which one can trigger PHP scripts at certain events from Asterisk. Using the same PHP scripts can also instruct Asterisk what to do next to a call/conference. Are there parallels to AMI and AGI in FreeSWITCH?
