[Freeswitch-users] Two bridged FreeSWITCH servers - both in bypass_media mode - possible?

[Vitalii Colosov]

Hi Brian,

I did not find the mandatory requirement for the proxy server to proxy also
media:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3261.txt

Proxy, Proxy Server: An intermediary entity that acts as both a
         server and a client for the purpose of making requests on
         behalf of other clients.  A proxy server primarily plays the
         role of routing, which means its job is to ensure that a
         request is sent to another entity "closer" to the targeted
         user.  Proxies are also useful for enforcing policy (for
         example, making sure a user is allowed to make a call).  A
         proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites specific parts of
         a request message before forwarding it.

So I am still not convinced that I cannot name FreeSWITCH in Bypass Media
mode as a PROXY :-)
Because it does all the things described:

1.intermediary entity
2.plays the role of routing
3.its job is to ensure that a request is sent to another entity "closer" to
the targeted user

Please pay attention that nothing is written about media here.

Vitalie
