using freeswitch for high volume call traffic
Hi Everyone, I'm evaluating various solutions for a requirement of softswitch. Main requirements are support for many simultaneous calls, g729 & g723 codecs, CDR, billing, etc. I was wondering if freeswitch is the right solution. I heard that it can handle many simultaneous calls and calls per second is also good. But i have doubts about CDR and billing. Can it do prepaid? Only java script is supported as scripting language? Can it write CDR in mysql table? Can it get configuration from mysql db(like asterisk realtime)? Does it stay in media path when both ends are using g729 or g723 codecs and freeswitch is doing it in passthrough mode?
Hi - We've used FS for reasonable high volume requirements. To answer your points: G729 and G723 passthrough fine; no transcoding at the moment. Prepaid fine with external script/billing/account balance management engine Write scripts in almost anything you want - Javascript is built in, but a socket interface allows you to talk to anything and do neat things like have one machine control a number of FS boxes. CDRs and config can be written from and read to databases with a bit of glue to make it happen using the Curl interfaces. It can stay in the media path or keep out of it; your choice. Hope this helps, and is mostly accurate.. Cheers -- Dave

Hi brothers, Now that Freeswitch is there, the only problem remains is of choosing the right language to use with it, as i hold the view, that you can get the best from FS only by using the best and efficient call control language . I am not sure about the following. Please clarify. -For all call control languages (CCL) like js, lua, perl, python, do many calls coming in spawn one instance of the script (a.k.a static class), or each call spawns its own instance of script? -if the answer to above is yes, then is there CCL among lua,perl,python, which has the ability to spawn a single instance, and open and create child threads at will, for all incoming calls ? This is of concern since its essentially bad to have an excellent softswitch, and an inefficent and memory-hogging script working with it. -If there is indeed a CCL to do the above, am i right in saying that the combination of this particular language with FS will yield the highest number of CPS on any given box, (with and without transcoding), compared to other CCLs. Though personally, my choice is of using mod_perl for the above reason because of its "daemonized" nature, but if lua offers the same, i m willing to spend few nights learning lua as well. Please shed light someone. Thanks for all you do! -Ashutosh On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 5:48 AM, Ruchir Brahmbhatt < ruchir.brahmbhatt@ecosmob.com> wrote:
