[Freeswitch-users] Central FreeSWITCH nodes management with Mod_XML_Curl vs Mod_Lua

[Kristian Kielhofner]

In my testing from a few months ago mod_xml_curl provided the best
performance with FreeSWITCH (in terms of CPS).  Additionally, as
others have noted, scaling HTTP is a well known problem.

There are very few cases where mod_xml_curl and your preferred web
technology would not be the ideal solution.
