SIP Router IRC channel

The IRC fans that want to do “a more real-time chat” about using and developing SIP Router project, can join the #sip-router channel on irc.freenode.net.

SIP Router Users Mailing List

As the project entered the phase where it is usable with modules from both Kamailio (OpenSER) and SIP Express Router (SER) projects, a new mailing list has be created:

sr-users@lists.sip-router.org

You can subscribe to it at:

http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users

It is intended for community users, the early testers at this moment in time.

The other mailing lists available for the project are:

- sr-dev - for development related discussions
http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-dev

- sr-users-es - sip router Spanish community mailing list
http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users-es

SIP Router Ready for Testing

The period of SIP Router integration phase is more and more approaching the end. Apart of 4 modules that are not integrated yet from Kamailio - seas, siptrace, uac_redirect and nat_traversal (work being undertaken) — the rest of 88 modules are ready for http://sip-router.org core.

There is now a page to collect guidelines for the default Kamailio configuration file used with sip-router. We invite all of you to test it, not only this one, but your private configs as well.
http://sip-router.org/wiki/migration/kamailio-3.0-config

Feel free to add to the wiki page or post questions about it to sr-users@lists.sip-router.org. This is a new list created for users of sip-router project, you can subscribe to it at:
http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users

At this stage, sip router can be used with modules from both Kamailio (OpenSER) and SER projects, mixed in same instance at the same time. Therefore you can choose the best ones that fit your needs. For Kamailio (OpenSER) users there is a page that tries to collect new features they got from SER side (still a lot to add there, hope ser developers will contribute what they find missing). Another page collects links for ser and kamailio users to find what the other project brings:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/migration/new-features-for-k-users
http://sip-router.org/wiki/features/inherited-features

It was not only integration work in the past months, sip router has quite a bunch of brand new feature. The wiki page to collect the summary is available at:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/features/new-in-devel

Jan just set online documentation portal, available for web browsing:
http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/

Common modules are located in directory ‘modules’ while kamailio and ser specific modules can be found under module_k and modules_s. Project’s wiki portal got also good content and it is under heavy work — note that everyone can contribute to wiki:
http://sip-router.org/wiki

Couple of core and tm features are not yet integrated or not exactly as they were in Kamailio. Please report the ones you are missing in your config at:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/devel/kamailio-integration#tm_and_core_extensions

It is the place that should set the priority rank for integration. I hope that in 1-2 months time frame to get into beta stage and prepare a stable release.

Many thanks for those that allocated resources to make things evolve to this stage and many thanks in advance for those that will start testing and help improving the sip router project.

SIP Router Online Documentation

Thanks to Jan, automatically generated HTML documentation from docbook documents stored in the git repository is available at

http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/

This is all the docbook documentation that we currently have in the repository, including the documents under doc, modules, modules_k, modules_s, and lib subdirectories.

The HTML documentation is updated automatically upon changes in the git repository.

Amoocon 2009 Presentation

Slides presented at Amoocon 2009, Rostock, Germany, are now available at:

http://sip-router.org/pub/events/2009-05-Amoocon/2009-amoocon-sip-router.org.pdf

The two day event, although Asterisk centric, brought many people from different projects and technologies around SIP and VoIP. Very interesting talks about integration with web and social networking, SS7 or database clustering.

SIP Router Development Project Suggestions

There is a new page in the wiki with suggestions for some interesting sip-router related development projects. The list can be found here.

These are mostly Jan Janak’s personal suggestions, things that he considers nice-to-have
or interesting (and which he kept on his todo lists for far too long). Anyone is encouraged to add new proposal or comment existing ones. As of now, most of them would make nice projects for students.

If you are a student, or if you supervise students, or if you are interested in working on some of the topics then, please write to sr-dev@lists.sip-router.org. We’d be happy to help you get started and provide some initial implementation guidance.

Selection from the list:

• Integration With User and Group Database in UNIX/Linux

• Dynamically Configured Mass Virtual Hosting

• Generic RADIUS Driver

• Syntax Highlighting of SER Configuration in Dokuwiki

• Internalization of Reason Phrases

• Multiplexing of SIP and RTP on One Socket

• Database Driver for Sqlite

• Overload Control for sip-router

• MAC Address Authentication and Authorization

• Python Integration

• SOCKS Support

Kamailio (OpenSER) Modules Integration to SIP-Router.org

Kamailio (OpenSER) modules have been imported in SIP-Router.org Project. They are located in directory "modules_k". Apart of three modules, all the rest compile with sip-router core.
