Proxy Servers (SBCs)

• Open Source vs. Commercial• OpenSIPS vs. Kamailio• OverSIP (Ruby, WebSocket)• Performance – Proxy Server– Asterisk Server

• Reliability• Media Proxy• Management Interface

10

Proxy Servers

• Registrar Server• Call Routing (Rules, Priorities, LCR & Reporting)• NAT Traversal• Security• SIP Signaling, Codec and Digit Manipulation• Load Balancing• Failure detection and re-routing• Scripting

11

Installation and configuration

• Linux• Open Source• Configuration and Routing script• Modules• Database

12

Modules (over 100 modules)

• SIP Clients related modules:– Registrar Server– Authentication– Presence Server– Instant messaging, Jabber, Json, SMS– NAT Traversal– Back to Back User Agent (topology hiding)– Database (mysql, oracle, odbc, postgres)

13

Modules

• Trunks and Routing– Dynamic Routing (Prefix base rules, priority,

time, distribution, drain mode, failure detection and re-routing)

– Load Balancer – Dial Plan– SIP MSG OPS– NAT Traversal– TLS– XMPP (SIP to XMPP Gateway)

14

Modules

• Utilities– Rate Limit– Statistics– SNMP interface– SIP Trace– SIP Capture– Pike – Flood detector– Perl
