[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch on ipsec

[Daniel Ivanov]

I have used asterisk over openswan in production for quite a time and if
you're going for <500cps , you shouldn't worry and put them on same
machine. Freeswitch deployment is the same. I would recommend against a
proprietary or commercial ipsec implementation appliance. The learning
curve is steep and troubleshooting is not easier by no means. Build your
test setup and go for it.
