Presentation at ClueCon 2010

I will give will give a presentation about using Kamailio and FreeSWITCH together to build large unified communication platforms at ClueCon 2010. While the primary communication channel these days is voice, instant messaging and presence gain more users day by day.

ClueCon is an annual 3-Day Telephony User and Developer Conference bringing together the entire spectrum of Telephony from TDM circuits to VoIP and everything in between. The event takes place in Chicago, IL, USA, during August 3-5, 2010.

Looking forward to meeting you there!

Five years OpenSER

Today, June 14, 2010, marks five years since OpenSER project was announced. The announcement was done with the release of version 0.9.4 - the development portal hosted by SourceForge.net being created several days before: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openser/.

It started as fork of SIP Express Router (SER) branch 0.9.x, aiming to build an Open Source project that relies on community and encourages contributions. Over the years, it succeeded to build a stable and very attractive SIP server.

In 2008, under some claims of trademark infringement from an US company, OpenSER was renamed to Kamailio. In 2009, Kamailio received Best of Open Source Networking Software Award (BOSSIE'09) by InfoWorld magazine.

Kamailio and SER teams started to work together again from November 2008. As of January 2010, Kamailio v3.0.0 includes all features provided by SIP Express Router (SER), based on a joint effort of the two teams done under development portal http://sip-router.org.

These days, the two applications share the same source code, the difference is the database structure used to store subscriber profiles and routing rules.

Next major release, version 3.1.0 is scheduled for September 2010, bringing lot of new features, many for first time implemented in a SIP server.

Kamailio Presentation at LinuxTag 2010

Henning Westerholt will talk about Geographical Redundant VoIP Sytems with Kamailio, on Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 11:20am, at LinuxTag 2010, in Berlin, Germany.

The presentation is about designing and implementation of geographical redundant Voice over IP systems with the Kamailio SIP router. It goes through an overview about the 1&1 voice over IP backend, some performance requirements for carrier grade VoIP networks and real-world measurements.

Then are some key concepts for building a geographical redundant system are presented. This are for example partitioning of the user base and network load with different means like anycast IP and means of maintaining a shared database state for subscriber data and registration information. Finally some common problems in building bigger VoIP clusters and solutions approaches are discussed.
