<br><br>Thanks Olle, I can only agree with you; it needs love to work properly, lots of love : )<br><br>So talking about the "other" school, you put a SIP Proxy on the two servers with a virtual IP<br>and get the Asterisk to talk with the same database setup we described here I guess.<br>
<br>
It sure is less complicated and more straight forward in terms of dialplan, etc.<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 3:44 AM, Olle E. Johansson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oej@edvina.net" target="_blank">oej@edvina.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>There are basically two different schools. The one you describe is<br>
focused on Asterisk and is based on realtime/dundi. The other one<br>
focuses on SIP and builds an extensible SIP network based on SIP<br>
proxys that load balance SIP traffic to a set of Asterisk servers. In<br>
this case, Asterisk doesn't receive registrations and doesn't "own"<br>
devices. On the other hand, you can easily add other SIP applications<br>
than voice. Video, presence, instant messaging...<br>
<br>
Asterisk is a great platform, but only for telephony and since it's<br>
call stateful, it doesn't scale as easily as a SIP proxy. The<br>
combination is great. This is how I built platforms for service<br>
providers during many years, and this is also what we teach in the<br>
Asterisk SIP Masterclasses.<br>
<br>
Since I need SIP scalability, I haven't focused on realtime/DUNDI. I<br>
personally feel that the realtime/SIP implementation needs love to<br>
work properly and that DUNDI is a bit limited to Asterisk. Nothings<br>
stops other products from implementing DUNDI, but so far, no one has<br>
been interested.<br>
