[OpenSBC] How does OpenSBC compare to Brekeke SIP Server

From: OpenSBC F. <ope...@op...> - 2008-11-08 01:10:40

Hello All,


I am just getting to understand OpenSBC and wondering how would OpenSBC compare to Brekeke. 


Could I for example replace it with OpenSBC since they seem to have fairly similar features?  


Does OpenSBC support Radius?


Does OpenSBC do codec transcoding? 


regards,

OSBC and Brekeke SIP Server ar every similar in function, although Brekeke does have more features  (OSBC only supports Solegy's accounting module, and does not support TCP for signalling; neither can perform codec translation).  On the other hand, one might argue that OSBC is more scalable than Brekeke since it is developed in C++  while Brekeke is a Java application.  Also,  OSBC is open source and free to download, while the Brekeke SIP server costs from $500-$4,000 per instance.

Thanks for your reply.


So If I have a Brekeke SIP Server and Radius Billing in Dallas, can I deploy an OSBC box configured with Upper Registration in New York and one in London for example for handling NAT Traversal and Proxying the Media Stream?  Is this sort of how OSBC would be ideally used in the Voip providers network?

Yes, that's exactly how OSBC is meant to be used.

Thanks again for that


Can Asterisk be integrated with OSBC somehow to allow transcoding of Codecs and perhaps IVR?

That really depends on your setup and what you mean by "integrated".  
OpenSBC have multiple means to route call to any destination.  You first 
choice would be to use B2BUA routes and point egress calls towards 
asterisk.  You could also set asterisk as an outbound proxy to let 
outbound calls "always" hit asterisk using Outbound Proxy setting.

I meant having Asterisk on the same box just as we can have OpenSER/Asterisk or OSBC/SipXecs.

Yes.  As long as you use different ports for asterisk and opensbc.

Hi,


Maybe  I should have asked if OSBC + Asterisk is the recommended solution if I wanted to do codec transcoding.
