[Freeswitch-dev] Scalabilty of Freeswitch

[Ken Rice]

It is possible to do such a think via a number of mechanisms. Remember FS
can operate in 3 modes, standard mode where we can do transcoding and
interact with the media stream, or proxy_media mode where we just proxy the
media packet in packet out, and bypass_media mode where we tell the end
points to send the media directly to each other.

This allows for some interesting scalability (we have clusters running in
excess of 20K concurrent calls at call rates in excess of 2000 calls/sec)

Also on a related issue (since I am a novice to Freeswitch), regardless of
statistics on number of extensions per system per configuration, I had a
more general question:
 
That is, does Freeswitch allow for distribution of loading (e.g. supports
interface to media servers running on separate machines)?  Also, I imagine
the SIP signaling part must always be a standalone machine that manages all
extensions?
 
Best Regards,
Jerry
