Hi Ashwin,

We are also using Rtpengine with opensips for simple calls (without any media transcoding, jst to proxy rtp) and freeswitch for more adv calls scenarios (ivr, callgroup with music on hold, voicemail).

We have plenty of Fs with the same configuration, opensips jst loadbalance the traffic to least loaded Fs.

Hi Srigo

What you are describing is more like a media gateway kind of solution. My team has developed such a solution in the past with OpenSIPs in the signalling plane and a custom built NPU based media plane. We initially started with FreeSWITCH but we had trouble getting the core into the NPU so we changed paths.

If you do not want to have a very complex solution you may want to explore OpenSIPs as the signalling plane and rptengine(https://github.com/sipwise/rtpengine) in the media plane ?

Hi Sharath,

If you want a simple centralized sip signaling box with FS for dealing with media.

Why don't you jst use Opensips or Kamailio for centralised sip signaling and loadbalance to FS media servers?

Thanks for the feedback!

maybe its possible, but it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to do so… The sip overhead is minimal compared to the media handling.  You’d be totally re-creating the wheel and adding significant complication for zero benefit.

Thank Michael. I was just wondering if it is possible to just use ESL inbound/outbound to achieve this ?

There is code to handle media sure, but you would need some other signaling other than sip in order to get sdp to the box and handle it according to some sort of protocol.  This is typically done with sip as it is the most standard way to do so, but others are possible.  The question would be what exactly you are trying to accomplish.
