Re: [Kamailio-Users] use case for settlement free peering

Greetings: I'm looking for advice on a project/proof of concept I'm working on. I would like to create a settlement-free peering fabric for voice traffic between and among some peer institutions in my area. Because this is more of a side-project for cost cutting measure, I'm primarily looking at open source software, though commercial product recommendations would be helpful as well. The organizations I would like to connect have their own PBXs with large blocks of numbers (whole NPA-NXXs), with no number portability in or out. I imagine both at the individual PBXs and peering fabric, the number routing would be static. To put another way, we would manually configure which connections the block of telephone numbers is reachable at. Here is the required ASCII art diagram :) +-------+ | PBX | +-------+ | +-------+ | SBC | +-------+ | | +---+ +---+ .--------. +---+ +---+ | P | | S | / \ | S | | P | | B |--| B |------ ( ???? )----------| B |--| B | | X | | C | \ / | C | | X | +---+ +---+ `---------' +---+ +---+ | | +-------+ | SBC | +-------+ | +-------+ | PBX | +-------+ For scalability reasons, a full mesh of connections between and among the SBCs is not an attractive option. Here's what I think I need: Basic SIP routing TCP, TLS, and UDP support What would be nice to have: IPv6 CDR What is probably not needed: User agent client registration, presence, IM, voice mail I see there are several different open source voice projects. Do you think this is an appropriate use for Kamailio?

I'm seeking comments on what you would use for this situation. Are there any existing projects along these lines? Is there one project that is better than another for this application?
