Re: [Kamailio-Users] Transparent bridge mode

Daniel, Thanks once again for your reply. I present below a more detailed system description. The first ASCII sketch depicts the setup we have in our lab here and the second ASCII sketch depicts the dataflow we are working towards. System setup: ------------- ------------ | Internet | ------------ | | ------|------------------------ | | CentOS v5.4 | | ---|---- -------- | | | NIC1 |<------>| NIC2 | |<- Server 1 | | eth0 | bridge | eth1 | | | -------- ----|--- | | Rtpproxy,Kamailio | | -------------------------|----- | |<- Cross over cable | ----------- |CentOS v5.4| | Asterisk |<- Server 2 ----------- Dataflow: --------- ------------------ |SIP Caller's | |Encrypted SIP | |(Port9090) + | |UDP | |(Port10000-20000)| ----------------- | |Public IP ---|----------------------- | --|---- ------- | Public IP || NIC1 |<------>| NIC2 | | ----------- || eth0 | bridge | eth1 |->-| Asterisk | | --|----- --|--|- | |CentOS v5.4| | v port 9090 | | | | Server 2 | | --|--------------- | | | ----------- ||Libnetfilter_queue|| | | | --|--------------- | | | | v | | | | --|------- | | | ||Decryption| ^ ^ | | -|------|-- | | | | | v port 5060| | | | | ---|---- | | | | | |Kamailio|--->- | | | v -------- | | | | | | | |UDPports | | | -|-- -------- | | ||srtp|->--|rtpproxy|->- | | ---- -------- | | Server 1,CentOS v5.4 | --------------------------- Questions: ---------- 1) Is it common practice to implement "Decryption" and "srtp" as shown in the dataflow diagram? If not, what is a more appropriate place to implement them ? 2) Once deployed, will such as system be capable of handling several hundreds or thousands of calls ? Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks and Regards, Vikram.
