-It is the oldest open source SIP server, routing **billions of VoIP minutes every month world wide**, being used from Telcos and Carriers to ITSP and SOHO  environments. If you haven't heard of it so far, it is very likely because your VoIP provider routes the calls fast and reliable with SER-based SIP servers, so you don't need to build your own system.+It is the oldest and most robust open source SIP server, routing **billions of VoIP minutes every month world wide**, being used from Telcos and Carriers to ITSP and SOHO  environments.

 As you can notice, **SER** and **Kamailio** are now same application (completely the same source code). The difference is made by what modules are you using for same purpose (e.g., user authentication, location, accounting) because the variants have a different database structure (you can notice later the existence of modules with same name, but located in different folders). As you can notice, **SER** and **Kamailio** are now same application (completely the same source code).

 Of course you can combine to some extent, for example use Kamailio-specific accounting module with SER-specific database user authentication module. The limitation comes to modules that have dependencies, for example registrar module depends on usrloc module -- you have to use both from one side. Of course you can combine to some extent, for example use Kamailio-specific accounting module with SER-specific database user authentication module.
