Conferencing solution - need advice
Hi All, I want to implement a conferencing solution using freeswitch with Avaya. We currently have a multi-country hosted telephony platform, I want to introduce freeswitch to it for internal use to see how it goes. I want a freeswitch server in UK, one in Europe, one in Americas and one in South Africa. i would like all freeswitch server to talk to each other over SIP over internal Cloud then i want UK conference users to join to UK freeswitch and for same conference other countries users to join their local freeswitch server and talk together. this way i want to achieve less cloud load and in reality one call between all servers where users all users from their country will connect to local freeswitch and that freeswitch links then to a conference with other country. please advise on how i can achieve this. i am open to suggestions and ideas. regards, Kaleem

this would require active SIP channels between the conference instances, but not counting as participants. Also some development work needs to be done to distribute the conference control between the servers: -- moderator joined, everyone can talk -- moderator control, like kicking off or muting participants -- moderator ending and shutting down the conference session -- total count and listing of all participants This sounds like ~50 to 100 hours of developer's work if you need a full conferencing functionality across multiple servers.

Indeed, Stan is right. I would rather concentrate on joining one (maybe dedicated instance of FS somewhere in the middle) instead of keeping full mesh of talkers, thus eating bandwidth and resources... On 8/22/13, Stanislav Sinyagin <ssinyagin@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi, in that case, how about a star network of freeswitch? One FS is central and other FS servers around transfer calls to it, in a way that they setup one stream only to main and merge all connected callers to it.

It doesn't quite work that way. Every call to main conference server will have it's own audio. Defeats the purpose of having a distributed setup. But I don't think the control issue is a big deal. You could always implement a web gui that kept track of participants and use that to control the conference on the edge servers. A little ESL, some PHP/AJAX and you should be fine if yiu're comfortable with those technologies. Thank you, Brian Foster Project Manager/Owner's Rep. Davri Investments, Inc.

it's possible to run local conferences on the hub servers, and let them automatically dial-out toward the central server. 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. If bandwidth is so much of concern, you can use Speex codec, as it gives a pretty good voice quality and moderate bandwidth usage. The CPU usage will grow, of course. 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.
