Regarding the technical discussion, here are some hard numbers which show
how SER stack outperforms derivative work. Forwarding throughput is clearly
several times better under stress and consequently, variation of response
delay is rather stable.
Hi Weiter,
Yeah, I have been trying to limit myself to technical observations too, but the governance
aspect is somewhat interesting too as a hint for future development, even though I guess
even this is much more confusing than the technical ones. I have investigated, both
projects have their firms with them that pursue their commercial interests which creates a
risk of possibly departing from the public interest, like with redhat. From this angle
they look quite similar. But if any worries me just a little bit more than openser.
Appearance at commercial shows on the "open" side versus technical event on the
"net" side if I take your BSD parallel, marketing "open" webpage
accusing "net" version bad, hiding root commerical sponsors on the
"open" webpage, this could be signs for a redhat-like doubleedged sword.
Hopefully I am oversensing because I mean it is natural that everybody has SOME interest,
but indisputably folks on both sides have done good work, but same indisputably more
TRANSPARENCY would be helpful for both projects so that users can be less investigative.
But I agree the technical comparison you suggest will be very useful if not most useful.
This is what I am eventually upto. Anything folks have to tell in this topic is most
welcome like the retransmission timers in subject or user loading.

disconcerted by the fact that the more I know the more I am confused and determined to get
over the learning curve quickly. also excuse the abuse I crossposted again but I think
cross interrogation is a bit painful but the more effective :-)

Common user barely has time to meet his boss requirements, rather than playing around with
different scenarios, platforms, environments.
I only read one email where Daniel stated that OpenSER now performs a whole much better
while loading users from database. SER guys put no figure out yet, neither bare numbers
nor comparisons. I'm just really curious to see how both servers perform, that's
all.
Even though I must maintain my SER, I kinda like OpenSER's faster releases and
developers' responsiveness (that I shamelessly exploit for the common code left there
:-), which is pretty much nonexistent with iptel (at least this is the general belief here
at OpenSER). But about this I'll probably have to fight on SER's mailing list. I
still wish that one day I won't have to compare features; heck, NetSER and FreeSER are
still available ;-).
WL.
PS. Maybe regretfully, I haven't seen any iptel booth at von this year, while OpenSER
guys put up a nice show. My congrats.

I can see what you are hinting at, but I guess that the users are the unbiased party that
should do the judgment and not the parties who have something to gain.
cheers

This features comparisons are not to last for too long, some performance comparisons would
also be nice. After all, there are plenty of UA-level stacks out there. At least now that
both projects get to have stable releases after forking and some core functionality
remained shared.
I wonder what "unbiased" organization will take up the challenge. :-)

Mike,
this is a really good start and we should collect these things so as to help the
community to take the right choice. I would also suggest that what ever ground breaking
issues we list we stay at the functional level (I do not think anyone is helped by using a
description containing "allowing carrier grade platforms" and similar marketing
phrases).
cheers
