But you don't have the moderator controls. The typical scenario is that the conference only starts when the moderator logs in. In this hub and spoke design, you need some external program which watches the ESL sockets and performs the control actions.

Then the hub boxes would compress the voice and send each call to the central conference bridge. In this case, you would keep the full moderator control, and nothing needs to be developed on top of today's
 FreeSWITCH.
