Using ClusterLabs Pacemaker with OpenSIPS
•
Summary In this article we examine how Pacemaker and Corosync might be used to supercharge OpenSIPS and build a highly available clustered solution. The focus is entirely on High Availability rather than any form of load sharing. This means we are looking for a way to have more than one server contactable on the same IP […]

SIP User Credentials in the ITSP environment – part 3
•
In this, the third part of the article, we will look at how the ITSP Proxy server handles outbound calls, paying particular attention to the authentication requirements and to the handling of Caller ID. You may also wish to refer back to part 1 where we reviewed the basic entities and concepts used to identify […]

SIP User Credentials in the ITSP environment – part 2
•
In part 1 of this article we reviewed the basic entities and concepts used to identify a user, a handset or service. It discussed in detail how these entities are used to register devices, either simple single-line devices or SIP trunks. Now, in part 2, we will examine in more detail the handling of inbound […]

What is OpenSIPS?
•
There are a number of open source applications available that are used to build IP Telephony solutions. OpenSIPS may not be as well-known as Asterisk, but it is widely used by service providers as a core part of their infrastructure because of its robustness, speed and capacity. In this article I will review the history […]

Clustering OpenSIPS for High Availability – Part 3
•
In this, part 3, we examine how a virtual IP address can be switched between two Linux servers to provide an active/standby failover and how this impacts on OpenSIPS. Part 2 investigated the implications for far-end NAT traversal of clustering two OpenSIPS servers and concluded that the best solution is the use of a virtual IP address. […]

Clustering OpenSIPS for High Availability – Part 2
•
In this, part 2, we investigate the implications of using more than one IP address on an OpenSIPS server and how this impacts on far-end NAT traversal. We will also see how the use of a virtual IP address can overcome these problems when clustering two OpenSIPS servers. Part 1 reviewed why we might want […]

Clustering OpenSIPS for High Availability – Part 1
•
Why cluster OpenSIPS? Unlike Asterisk, a typical OpenSIPS server is able to handle a very large number of simultaneous SIP calls. It is generally very reliable and will keep running for many months, or even years, with little or no attention. As a consequence, it is the preferred choice for many VoIP service providers who […]
