I know FreeSWITCH and Asterisk from the inside out because we ported 
both of them to IPv6.

Verdict:

- Asterisk started ugly but is getting much better very quickly. They 
actually have paid professional coders working on it, and it shows. They 
started participating in the IETF. They recently implemented ICE. 
They're on the right track.

- FreeSWITCH started much prettier by reusing third-party libraries. But 
the glue code around these libs is absolutely horrendous. That glue code 
keeps growing and getting uglier. Their level of clue is dropping.

Right now, I'd pick Asterisk over FreeSWITCH.
