[asterisk-users] Lightweight IAX balancer

[Stanisław Pitucha]

Hi list

I've written a tool that works as a lightweight (standalone - no asterisk) balancer for IAX servers. It's in early development now, but seems to be stable enough and handles couple hundred simultaneous calls with not much latency (SIPp + asterisks tested).
It's configurable by listing servers' IPs in iaxproxy-servers file loaded at startup and will keep track of load on each machine.
It does balancing not per IAX connection, but per call - rewriting call numbers and keeping track of connection status. It's going to be optimized for speed - doesn't do any other modification or audiostream translation - only message passing.

If someone's interested -- code + short doc is available at

Development will continue - any opinions / comments / contributions are appreciated.
