I think you can use asterisk for your sip implementation.
As you already know, SIP is peer to peer and you don't need asterisk when u want to communicate just between two users. If you are thinking about having more than 2 users (say 25) in the setup, Asterisk will help you there. In this case, Asterisk will be the SIP registrar/feature server for all the users. Sip UA (users) will send the requests to asterisk and asterisk will route the call appropriately.
Hope this helps

no.

line/no. registration and setting up calls between sip phones.
asterisk is required, I believe, when you need an easy method of getting
your users to be able to call one another other than supplying a list of
ip addresses and fixing the ip address of each user.
