Hello,
I have read here about load balancing between multiple gateways by using
carrierroute module, but there is one particular question for which I
found no answer.
Let's say I have two asterisk servers (X und Y), that are my gateways to
PSTN. Let we do it simple. Let's say that each gateway supports only one
outgoing call at the time and there is no incoming calls from PSTN. Now:
Bob calls one number and Kamailio uses X gateway.
Alice calls other number and Kamailio uses Y gateway.
Alice terminates the call.
Alice place a new call, but Bob's call is still in progress.
If we were used round robin algorithm, Kamailio would then use X
gateway, but X gateway is currently occupied. What shell happen now?
And what if Alice didn't tear down call ordinary? What if it her SIP
client simply crashed? (Then kamailio would think that there is now free
gateway)
So the main question is: can kamailio know/detect, how much calls are
going over one particular gateway and what can be done when limit for
this gateway is reached?
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Sasa Vilic

Hi!
Kamailio can count the number of calls per gateway and use the least
loaded one. Another approach, which is more reliable uses
failure-routing. This means, the load balancer chooses any of the
gateways, but if the gateway response with a certain error code, the
"failure_route" will choose the next gateway and re-sends the request.
You can do the failure routing multiple times until you ran out of gatways.

not sure this is out of the box with carrier route module, but
dispatcher module has call load balancing. Another option to track
active calls per destination is using dialog module and profiles.
However, I would go with round robin and the failure route solution as
pointed by Klaus, it is more flexible and lightweight.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,
Carrierroute module support load balancing based on weights(so it can be
non-uniform distribution).Keep in mind that this works on large numbers
of calls, so on the long run we will have 50-50% load on the servers
(given enough calls). For small number of calls (like your example) the
carrierroute module has no way of determining to route on the other
gateway.
As others suggested, you can use failure_route to route between
gateways. Carrierroute module supports this over the failure route table.
Cheers,
Marius
Thank you in advance.
