About OpenSIPS


What is OpenSIPS

OpenSIPS (Open SIP Server) is a mature Open Source implementation of a SIP server. OpenSIPS is more than a SIP proxy/router as it includes application-level functionalities. OpenSIPS, as a SIP server, is the core component of any SIP-based VoIP solution. With a very flexible and customizable routing engine, OpenSIPS 'unifies voice, video, IM and presence services in a highly efficient way, thanks to its scalable (modular) design.
What OpenSIPS has to offer, comes in a reliable and high-performance flavour - OpenSIPS is one of the fastest SIP servers, with a throughput that confirms it as a solution up to enterprise or carrier-grade class.

OpenSIPS vision

The OpenSIPS vision consists in a "consolidated diversity" - OpenSIPS is an open source project not only as license, but also as policy regarding the contributions, cooperation and community.
The diversity comes from the large number of people involved in the development of the project and from the complexity and feature richness of OpenSIPS (it incorporates and integrates a large variety of functionalities and features, on top of the SIP routing engine).
To reach a high level of reliability and stability, all this diversity needs to be consolidated. The project brings a consolidate d view on the project management, on the project vision, on the design and code, on the work effort, on the project future.

More about OpenSIPS

OpenSIPS project is a continuation of the OpenSER project. Inheriting the OpenSER spirit of openness to the community and the will of progress (a continuous work to develop, enhance and extend the code), OpenSIPS continues and extends the OpenSER vision through a strong process of consolidation.
Based on the experience provided by the OpenSER project, such a process of consolidation is critical in order to guarantee the best effort and best results inside the project. A consolidated environment is mandatory for large scale project that aims to deliver professional solutions for industry environment.

OpenSIPS new design - RFC


Based on the common consent that the current design/architecture of OpenSIPS/OpenSER (inherited from SER) is no longer able to deliver and to meet the present requirements and demands for OpenSIPS future evolving. It is simply an inevitable dead-end that needs to be avoided.

Why? the summary is here.

All of us are aware of the critical problems like blocking DB or RADIUS, blocking DNS, lack of scaling, too complicated scripting, message changes processing , etc.

To be able to deliver a solution that will be able to satisfy the the growing complexity and scale of the SIP world, a new radical design is needed. It will be process of intensive thinking and work, but the result will be a license for the future.

As a first step of this laborious process, collecting feedback from all of you, about the is missing, what are your wishes, about the known/unknown limitations, etc, an new web section is available where we can compile all this information.

It is not a request for solution, but a request for current problems! We need to know all the problems that people facing in order to come up with a design that will solve them all.

Please visit the design RFC web page and freely post there - any feedback is a valuable input and investment in this project.
