Hi Grant - That's exactly what we do with it. There's a bunch of GUIs available for it, none of which I've used - details here: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Freeswitch_Gui I wrote a web front end/routing/billing engine for it which meets our needs, and it wasn't terribly traumatic. --Dave From: Grant Baxley [mailto:GBaxley at hostinfinity.com] Sent: 19 February 2013 20:15 To: David Knell Subject: RE: [VoiceOps] Session Border Controllers Dave, Does FreeSwitch act as an SBC? I would need to interface with multiple carriers and rout calls accordingly. Also, does it have a user friendly web interface? Thanks, R.

The largest instances run up to 4,000 sessions (=2,000 concurrent calls) and have peaked at over 40 calls/sec; they use less than half of an i7-3770 CPU at this level. --Dave From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Grant Baxley Sent: 19 February 2013 18:58 To: james jones Cc: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Session Border Controllers 200 concurrent calls would be a good start with 20 calls a second. If there is a platform that can be virtualized on my current equipment, that would be the preferred method. We have a high available cloud that currently runs many Centos virtual PBX instances.

We would need to be able to route calls to and from different IP addresses based on source and destination. Thanks, R.
