1. Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This modules implements a dispatcher for destination addresses. It
|
|
|
- computes hashes over parts of the request and selects an address from a
|
|
|
- destination set. The selected address is used then as outbound proxy.
|
|
|
+ This module offers SIP load balancer functionality and it can be used
|
|
|
+ as SIP traffic dispatcher. There are many load balancing and traffic
|
|
|
+ dispaching algorithms that you can choose from, like: round-robin,
|
|
|
+ weight based load balancing, call load distribution, hashing over SIP
|
|
|
+ message attributes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The module can be used as a stateless load balancer, having no
|
|
|
- guarantee of fair distribution.
|
|
|
+ The module can be used as a stateless load balancer, it does not depend
|
|
|
+ on any call state tracing module. It requires TM module if you enable
|
|
|
+ auto-discovery of active/inactive gateways.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ It is very lightweight, therefore suitable for handling heavy SIP
|
|
|
+ traffic. Its small footprint and ability to load balancing rules from a
|
|
|
+ text plain file makes it suitable for embedded systems.
