class=614282920-27082009>kay. I got two replies from Shelby R. and Ken
R. I presume these two answers do not conflict? I gather from these
replies is that FS has 3 modes: 1) FS is a complete stand-alone system
(i.e. FS interacts with media stream), 2) FS is a media_proxy (i.e. FS simply
receives/transmits media but does not process it), 3) FS is in bypass media mode
where FS tells both endpoints to send media directly to each other (i.e. no
media handling packet handling at all).</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">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.<BR><BR>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) <BR><BR><BR><BR>

question:<BR></FONT></FONT><FONT
face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><BR></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT
face=Arial>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?<BR></FONT></FONT><FONT
