[asterisk-users] Clustering concept
Hi all, I am wondering if the Clustering concept described in Leif Madsens presentation http://comunidad.asterisk-es.org/documentos/astricon2008/why-cluster-an-introduction-to-asterisk-clustering-and-database-integration-astricon-2008.pdf is still up to date or if there are newer or improved features available with 1.6 (or 1.8) to build an easy scalable and highly available Asterisk infrastructure? Maybe someone knows of configuration examples or howtos for building a HA cluster with the most actual features? Especially the database setup with several nodes using the same database sounds very interesting and also DUNDi for loadbalancing and efficient routing. We would need a HA infrastructure covering a headquarter with thousands of users and several branch offices, some with just a handful of users and others with up to 500 users. Asterisk needs to interconnect with some local hard PBX (Siemens Hipath) and within each other. I am actually trying to figure out a setup that would fit that needs. Any input of links to further documentation or your real life experiences with a clustered setup is very welcome. Thanks in advance. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Maybe someone knows of configuration examples or howtos for building a HA cluster with the most actual features? Probably the biggest difference I can think of is that all of the features in the future section at the end are now in released versions of Asterisk. The other thing that is in 1.8 betas that may be of interest is distributed device states and MWI over XMPP PubSub. There are some interesting use-cases there that can provide some nifty unified communications integrations that just doing distributed device states over OpenAIS can't.

Regards, - Brad -- Thanks so far Brad. Do you know if it is possible to interconnect 1.6 with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and use the Office Communicator as a softclient for telephone calls and the Communicator for Instant Messaging? I believe you can set up a mediation server within MOC but i don't know if this works in real life. Maybe someone here has this setup running? What I also wonder is if the state in Communicator client would change to in a call if a call is made from Communicator via Asterisk. AFAIK MOC itself cannot directly communicate with a PSTN so Asterisk could be a perfect supplemental. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Microsoft built software that only speaks SIP over TCP. Most SIP stacks work over RTP. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

No, not until Microsoft builds a compatible soft phone. Microsoft built software that only speaks SIP over TCP. Most SIP stacks work over RTP. I suspect you meant UDP, not RTP. They use TCP or UDP for SIP signaling and RTP for the actual voice traffic. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

So in a perfect world it could work as from 1.6 Asterisk supports TCP. But if it works in real world?
