[asterisk-users] The purpose of DUNDi

[Bruce Reeves]

I use DUNDi in this way, I have several remote sites and a MPLS
network connecting the sites. I have each sites asterisk box looking
at 2 DUNDi peers and those 2 central peers can query all sites. I
don't have a lot of phones or people moving between sites, but I did
not want to have to setup a IAX connection for every site on every
server. I like the ability for DUNDi to determine which server to talk
to and then configure the dial string for that call. This made my
configuration easier to expand as I deployed new sites. I simply added
the new peer to my central servers and configured the new site server
and I could call between sites.

While DUNDi's original intent was more for least cost routing or zero
cost routing, I think it provides an excellent means to scale a
network of asterisk systems.
