When to use OpenSIPS/Kamailio in front of FS?
Hi, I'm excited reading all the threads about how FS blows Asterisk away so that you don't need OpenSIPS/Kamailio in front of FS. Surely there must be a point when it would be advisable to do that though, as mod_sofia can't be as good as a dedicated SIP proxy?

Anything that's dedicated undoubtedly has less load that something that's multifunctioned. However the lack of any conversations on front ending a SIP server to FS would likely indicate that no one's found a requirement for it at this time. I would truly hate to see discussions of theoretical performance advantages of one SIP server over another, when in my view, I have yet to reach any real world limit with FS. My FS servers are handling 100,000+ calls/day per server and are probably only at 50% capacity. (I see no point in beating a server to pulp when it's relatively cheap to add another if required) Regards -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Gavin Henry Sent: 14 June 2009 21:34 To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: [Freeswitch-users] When to use OpenSIPS/Kamailio in front of FS?

Well, we currently have a scenario where this seems to be the most logical setup currently. We provide PBX as a Service (SaaS), and want to have a cluster of FreeSwitch servers handling registration and presence. Introducing OpenSIPS in front will allow a couple of features, which I don't see how would be implemented in a "good" way without anything in front of FS: - "true" loadbalancing with the loadbalancer module - Live migration of calls to another server to take FS down for maintenance - no need for 100% SRV support in the SIP clients Best regards, Even André On 15. juni. 2009, at 10.47, Gavin Henry wrote:
