[SR-Users] Kamailio Behind TCP Load Balancer

[Colin Morelli]

Hi Daniel,

Yes it is actually terminating and opening a new connection.

I don't need HAProxy for anything at the moment, I was mentioning it for
its support of the proxy protocol which enables applications to get source
address information behind TCP load balancers.

I'm not so much worried about the speed of kamailio - I'm confident it's
quite fast. But for every piece of infrastructure I need to stand up,
there's another opportunity for failure. Being able to use an ELB at the
edge lets me place some of that hard work on Amazon, who has already
thought of things like DNS load balancing, multi zone failover, etc.

I think it'd be great if Kamailio could support something like proxy
protocol to allow this scenario to work (it's just a single line sent right
after a TCP connection is opened)

Best,
Colin
