<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Posted a similar query a few weeks
ago, without much interest - any advice appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have two sites and will send calls between
them. I have Kamailio at each site which will route the calls
out/in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There are multiple distinct network routes between
the sites, accessible via different IP addresses. Each Kamailio has
multiple IP's, one for each route.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The purpose of the multiple routes is mainly fault
tolerance. Some of the network links are unreliable, so routing must adapt when
route(s) are unavailable. When all routes are available, all should handle
some traffic, at differing ratios to match the bandwidth available to each route
(e.g route A - 50%, route B - 30%, route C - 20%).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I know that the Dispatcher can manage the routing
for the SIP traffic, with the %ge distribution, and with SIP OPTIONS 'pings' to
detect route availability.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My main headache is that RTP must follow the same
route as SIP for each call. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>After a bit of web digging, I was thinking of a
solution where each of the Kamailio servers will run multiple instances of
rtpproxy (one for each ip/route). Then once the dispatcher has chosen a
route for the call, to use the matching rtpproxy instance to direct the
audio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Any comments or alternate solutions/suggestions
would be of interest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Many thanks,</FONT></DIV>
