Hello,
a solution I am using is to do shared IP (vrrp/ucarp). The typical
scenario is active-backup, when one share IP is used.
But you can do active-active by using two shared IP addresses, so will be
server1: active_ip_1 - backup_ip_2
server2: backup_ip_1 - active_ip_2
So each server is active and backs-up the other. This can be scaled,
with more than 2 servers, you need an IP per server, and you will have a
chain of active servers backing up next one. Based on who is backing up
who, you may have one or more servers down without affecting the service
You have to take care of balancing the traffic among the IP addresses.
Cheers,
Daniel

Kamailio is a very high-throughput proxy that can handle huge amounts of
call setups per second. I think you can count on that.
Failing over around the load balancer node to a secondary load balancer
or distributing the traffic among multiple load balancers is a job best
left to the sending endpoint. For example, a DID origination provider's
switch or SBC can be set up to fail over calls to a different IP
endpoint for your SIP trunk if no response is received within a certain
amount of time. That is how this is typically done. At some point
you've got to say that you've done all you can do, and it's up to the
other side.

Hi
I was wondering how to achieve an architecture with two or more active
load-balancer nodes (kamailio+dispatcher module).
I have read how to setup two dispatcher nodes, one node as a master and
the other one as a backup.
The backup node doesn't process any traffic until master fails. But how
to make the traffic being processed by both load-balancers ? In the case
for instance the capacity of single node is not enough to process all
incoming traffic. Is there any recommended configuration (eg. using
frontal application-level swith)
Regards,
Pascal
