Hi all,
Posted a similar query a few weeks ago, without much interest - any
advice appreciated.
I have two sites and will send calls between them. I have Kamailio at
each site which will route the calls out/in.
There are multiple distinct network routes between the sites,
accessible via different IP addresses. Each Kamailio has multiple
IP's, one for each route.
The purpose of the multiple routes is mainly fault tolerance. Some of
the network links are unreliable, so routing must adapt when route(s)
are unavailable. When all routes are available, all should handle
some traffic, at differing ratios to match the bandwidth available to
each route (e.g route A - 50%, route B - 30%, route C - 20%).
I know that the Dispatcher can manage the routing for the SIP traffic,
with the %ge distribution, and with SIP OPTIONS 'pings' to detect
route availability.
My main headache is that RTP must follow the same route as SIP for
each call.
After a bit of web digging, I was thinking of a solution where each of
the Kamailio servers will run multiple instances of rtpproxy (one for
each ip/route). Then once the dispatcher has chosen a route for the
call, to use the matching rtpproxy instance to direct the audio.
Any comments or alternate solutions/suggestions would be of interest.
you need to
install many instances of rtpproxy, because it can listen on
one or two (for bridging) network interfaces.
If there is no IP routing between incoming interface and outgoing
interface, you may need to install as many rtpproxy instances as
combination of incoming and outgoing network interfaces you may have.
Cheers,
Daniel
