if SIP processing in java is not prohibitively slow, I would recommend to stick to a native SIP stack (or somehow embed a C/C++ stack). Mainly for historical reasons, we had used SER as SIP stack for SEMS, another SIP media/app server, but it turned out that a native SIP stack and using SIP between proxy and app server has many advantages: - performance is much better (even with optimized binary RPC, and only passing relevant info from SIP messages to app server - afaik SEAS sends the whole messages) - standard SIP methods for load distribution, failover, overload handling etc can be used, they are all very well implemented in *ser/s-r - configuration and system administration is much easier - usually (in bigger setups), you have a lb proxy in front of the app server anyway etc. especially high load and overload situations are handled better using traditional SIP methods, which are known and by now also quite well engineered. just my 2c (not having much experience with SEAS).
