[OpenSIPS-Users] Dispatcher or Load Balancer Module??

[Vlad Paiu]

Hello,

The dispatcher module acts in a stateless mode. It just calculates 
hashes on different part of the SIP messages, and based on the hash it 
determines a destination. So overall, with the dispatcher module, no 
even distribution is guaranteed.

The load-balancer is statefull. It will keep track of the number of 
dialogs that are active on each server, and route the request towards 
the least busy one.

So my guess is that, from what you described, you should be choosing the 
load-balancer module.

Regards,
