How does OpenSBC compare to Brekeke SIP Server

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,


miced

Re: How does OpenSBC compare to Brekeke SIP Server
OSBC and Brekeke SIP Server are very similar in function, although Brekeke does have more features (most notably, 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.

Re: How does OpenSBC compare to Brekeke SIP Server
Thanks for your reply.

So If I have my voip network consisting Brekeke SIP Servers and Radius Billing servers 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 for customers in different geographical locations? Is this sort of how OSBC would be ideally used in the Voip providers network?

Miced

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 Asterisk with OSBC is the recommended solution if I wanted to do codec transcoding on OSBC.
