Both cases can happens. In a VoIP call we have two connections, one is used
for signaling, usually port 5060 for SIP protocol, UDP transport and one is
used for media (voice), usually random port. When the call starts the
asterisk server sits in the middle of the media path, meaning all voice
packets from phone A go to asterisk server and they are rerouted to phone
B. After few milliseconds, if configured this way, asterisk server
instructs the phone A to send the media directly to phone B to save
bandwidth. It is named "reinvite"
