[OpenSIPS-Users] Dimensioning: What is more CPU intensive OpenSIPS or proxying RTP?

[Brett Nemeroff]

Well it always really depends on what exactly you are doing. But in general,
anything to do with RTP is going to be more CPU intensive. In general,
signaling is very little traffic, and a well designed server can do most of
it's operations from memory. You'll notice for a typical call, there is next
to no signaling that occurs during the call (of course, depending on your
implementation)
With RTP, you have a constant stream of packets to sort out, and deal with.
Of course, it also depends on what volumes you are talking about.. However I
think all in all, RTP is always going to be expensive to work with. That's
my $0.02
