For arbitrarily large and complex systems, I'd keep FreeSWITCH as dumb
as possible so that you can easily cluster them. So, modules that allow external control
(mod_event_socket, mod_erlang_event, mod_httapi, mod_xml_curl) are all
good choices. <br><br>Event socket is pretty popular; Plivo and Adhearsion both use it. The 2600hz guys use mod_erlang_event. And I've heard of plenty of people that use mod_xml_curl.<br>
