[OpenSER-Users] OpenSER VS. SER

[Ali Jawad]

Thanks for your reply.

Well what about failover, from what I have seen Openser does support SRV
so multiple servers can be setup in a round robin fashion, so if two
servers were used and one went down, 50% of the requests would still go
through. I was also told "I could not verify this" that SER does have
some failover features that allows it to detect if one server has gone
down and redirect all incoming requests to the running server.

Can anyone deny/verify this ?

Hi Ali,

well, i'm a OpenSER developers so don't espect a well balanced reply
from 
me.. ;-)

But i think its generally accepted that OpenSER has a bigger feature set
then 
SER. You can check the module list [1] for OpenSER and SER [2] yourself,
in 
the wiki there is also a feature matrix [3] for OpenSER. 

As both projects creates/ maintains a quite complex server system, its
hard to 
tell which project has "better" features. This depends mainly from your 
requirements.

OpenSER is a good base for providing SIP services for me, and i think
this is 
also true for many other users here on the list.  Feel free to ask if
you 
have more questions in regards to a specific feature.

Cheers,

Henning
