Hi Alex,
I'm trying to replace the Asterisk box with an instance of
Kamailio+RTPEngine because the Asterisk box is heavily overloaded and
calls that are passing through this box are encountering packet loss.
The idea behind it is that the bundle of Kamailio+RTPEngine will be less
CPU-intense than Asterisk and that the machine this bundle runs on would
be able to handle the current call load without packet loss.
With "drop-in replacement" I meant that no changes on the upstream
carrier side can be made for the moment (they're slow), thus I'm having
to use the IP of the Asterisk box for the Kamailio+RTPengine bundle.
The purpose of the Asterisk box (and, once I got it to work,
Kamailio+RTPEngine will be the replacement) is to route SIP voice calls
from several other Asterisk boxes in the LAN to the carrier.
That single overloaded Asterisk box is the gateway to the carrier so to
speak. And its IP 2.2.2.2 which is authorized to send INVITE's towards
the carrier can't get changed on the carrier side for the moment.
Thanks :)

Hi Markus,
Can you elaborate upon the way in which you are using Kamailio+RTPEngine "as a
drop-in replacement"? Drop-in replacement for what? Or that is to say, what are you
trying to accomplish here, functionally?
I have the suspicion that what you're doing is probably best accomplished in a
different and more straightforward way. :-)
