There are scenarios where you need OpenSIPS to route SIP traffic across more than one IP interface. Such a typical scenario is where OpenSIPS is required to perform bridging. The bridging may be between different IP networks (like public versus private, IPv4 versus IPv6) or between different transport protocols for SIP (like UDP versus TCP … Continue reading SIP bridging over multiple interfaces
As time goes by, code, pull requests and patches for an open-source project will naturally keep arriving in a steady stream.

OpenSIPS 2.4 is all about clustering and SIP presence is an important service that delivers a large variety of functionalities like end-to-end user presence, BLF, SLA and more. We need to consider clustering for presence as much as presence is a service with a large appetite for storage and processing - presence is mainly about … Continue reading Clustering Presence Services with OpenSIPS 2.4
Dialog replication in OpenSIPS has been around since version 1.10, when it became clear that sharing real-time data through a database is no longer feasible in a large VoIP platform. Further steps in this direction have been made in 2.2, with the advent of the clusterer module, which manages OpenSIPS instances and their inter-communication. But have we … Continue reading Clustering ongoing calls with OpenSIPS 2.4
