I have used asterisk before, but now am looking at kamailio for scaling up. I've read 'Building Telephony Systems with OpenSER', but I still have lots of questions.... so, here it goes:
- I could not find a way to reboot a phone remotely, can it send SIP NOTIFY to all phones?
kamailio is a sip proxy, not a sip ua. you can easily write a sip ua script that does what ask in above.
- does it have something like the Asterisk Manager Interface, so I can connect/create an operator panel for it? Does that already exist somewhere? Something like FOP where operators can transfer calls, and check availability?
no, here you are looking for a pbx what kamailio is not.
- according to the docs it is not a BTBUA. What does this mean? I know that asterisk is a BTBUA, but what can a BTBUA do that a SIP proxy cannot? Is it only the moh and conferences?
for example, bua can terminate a call and create a new one. kamailio is not a full blown bua. use sems instead.
- lastly, is there a good tutorial on load-balancing somewhere?
that i don't know an answer. there is a couple is load balancing related modules in kamailio, which you can use. check their READMEs.
