It is possible to do such a think via a number of mechanisms. Remember FS can operate in 3 modes, standard mode where we can do transcoding and interact with the media stream, or proxy_media mode where we just proxy the media packet in packet out, and bypass_media mode where we tell the end points to send the media directly to each other.
This allows for some interesting scalability (we have clusters running in excess of 20K concurrent calls at call rates in excess of 2000 calls/sec) From: Jerry Richards <jerry.richa...@teotech.com> Reply-To: "freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org" <freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org> Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:45:30 -0700 To: <freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org> Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-dev] Scalabilty of Freeswitch Also on a related issue (since I am a novice to Freeswitch), regardless of statistics on number of extensions per system per configuration, I had a more general question: That is, does Freeswitch allow for distribution of loading (e.g. supports interface to media servers running on separate machines)? Also, I imagine the SIP signaling part must always be a standalone machine that manages all extensions?
