Hi Edson, Thanx for your reply. Actually we're thinking about replacing a softswitch (Nextone) with an architecture based on GnuGk. All gatekeepers will be centralized. It's a centralized architecture. So, will the neighbors architecture be the best to do load balancing with a centralized architecture? Our architecture is like that: GW origin 1 GW termin 1 \ / \ / \ / \ __________ / | GKs | |(neighbors) | |__________| / \ / \ / \ / \ GW origin N (e.g. 100) GW termin N (e.g. 200) N.B: each endpoint (e.g. gateway) can have several calling plans. Can you please put me on track on how doing load balancing with neighbour architecture? Or how to do load balancing with the most appropriated method (neighbour, parent-child, alternate, linux virtual server) Samuel. -----Message d'origine----- De : openh323gk-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:openh323gk-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Edson Envoyé : mercredi 26 avril 2006 15:47 À : openh323gk-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : RE: load balancing for a 1000 concurrent calls flow Why didn?t You look for a solution using neighbors, so that all resolvs the same routes, and define EP capacity from every GW that You will use?

Between these 2 methods which one is more appropriated for load balancing? As I told you before we have a traffic of about 1000 concurrents calls in proxy mode. So I guess we would need a lot of GKs. I?m thinking about an architecture like this: Child GK1 / . / . / . Parent GK /_ _ _ Child GK4 \ . \ . \ . \ Chid GK n (maybe 10 or even more) We have to route calls from originating H323 gateways to terminating H323 gateways. Is this architecture a good solution for that kind of routing? I read about the Linux Virtual Server Project. Is this project compatible with the parent ? child approach in GnuGk, or is it a completely different project? If compatible, how to use GnuGk and Linux Virtual Server together? Thanx for your help.
