Description:I got help from "file" on irc, but I think the wording should be updated.


...talking about whether a SIP gateway that is using * as a "backup pstn gateway"

[13:31:26] file[laptop] TommyTheKid: user is used when username/password authentication occurs, most companies don't do that
[13:31:43] file[laptop] TommyTheKid: peer is used when matching based on IP address, that's what most companies use



****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

Here is a basic idea, should probably be improved upon.. I dont think a disclaimer is necessary for a "documentation rewording" :)

This would be nice as it explains it a little clearer.
