The difference is temperature. The American Welding Society definition says
you are soldering at temperatures of 800 F or less. If the filler material
solidifies above 800 F, you are brazing. If you melt the base material, you
are welding.
To me, silver solder is the good ol' cadmium bearing BAg1 (AWS designation).
It's solidus is 1080 F (?) or there abouts. The cadmium free silver solders
are better for your health but they have solidus' that can push 1400 F.
