FreeSWITCH ROCKS!

Much better than Asterisk, it's SIP stack is 100% RFC compliant and complete... it does STUN, TCP/UDP, SRTP, etc, they use the Sofia SIP stack.

Nokia also uses Sofia SIP, another great thing about FreeSWITCH is that it uses PCRE for regular expressions, it has event sockets, it's a soft-switch so it can scale from a PBX to a soft-switch, etc.

It also has YAML support for writing dialplans now, the rest is XML, etc.

I highly recommend FreeSWITCH to anyone that is interested in VoIP and telecommunications.

FreeSWITCH vs Asterisk

It's the Apache of VoIP =D Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (asdx24) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?321067 http://osnews.com/thread?321067 I also forgot to mention that FreeSWITCH does not require any Zaptel for conference.

Asterisk requires Zaptel for it's timing source in order to do conferencing.

FreeSWITCH has it's own internal API for timing, and it does soft-based conference just fine.

It's the best application I ever used for VoIP.

FreeSwitch is a soft switch, not a SIP router, and regardless, the book being reviewed is about OpenSER, not FreeSwitch. You guys spamming about Freeswitch on any and every article having something to do with VoIP all over the web gets old fast. Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:43:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (anevilyak) Comments
