I. About Kamailio
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Kamailio is an industrial-strength, free server for realtime communication,
|
|
based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP RFC3261).
|
|
|
|
It is engineered to power Realtime Communications such as IP telephony and presence
|
|
infrastructures up to large scale. With embedded support for WebSockets, HTTP,
|
|
MSRP and XMLrpc as well as Json-rpc it's a modern server, up to date with current
|
|
standards.
|
|
|
|
Kamailio keeps track of users, sets up multimedia sessions, relays instant
|
|
messages and creates space for new plug-in applications. Its proven interoperability
|
|
guarantees seamless integration with components from other vendors, eliminating the
|
|
risk of a single-vendor trap. Kamailio has successfully participated in various
|
|
interoperability tests in which it worked with the products
|
|
of other leading SIP vendors.
|
|
|
|
The Kamailio software enables a flexible plug-in model for new applications: Third parties
|
|
can easily link their plug-ins with the server code and provide thereby advanced and
|
|
customized services. With a modern RPC interface, 3rd party application can integrate
|
|
and interact with services provided by Kamailio.
|
|
|
|
Kamailio's performance and robustness allows it to serve millions of users and accommodate needs
|
|
of very large operators. With a low-cost dual-CPU, the Kamailio server is able to power
|
|
IP telephony services in an area as large as the Bay Area during peak hours.
|
|
|
|
The Kamailio server is extremely configurable to allow the creation of various routing and
|
|
admission policies as well as setting up new and customized services. Its configurability
|
|
allows it to serve many roles: network security barrier, presence server, application server,
|
|
IMS server or PSTN gateway guard (Session Border Controller) for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. Feature List
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Please visit http://www.kamailio.org/ for the most up-to-date feature list.
|
|
Note that as features easily are added as modules, changes can occur quickly.
|
|
|
|
Most of Kamailio's features are implemented as plug-in modules. See
|
|
our web site for a current list.
|
|
|
|
III. Getting started
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The INSTALL document will guide you through the installation.
|
|
|
|
Kamailio is composed of a core and additional modules. For each module
|
|
there is a README with documentation on how to configure and use the
|
|
module. These are available in each modules source code directory as well
|
|
as on the kamailio.org web site.
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you continue with reading README-MODULES and then the
|
|
document named INSTALL.
|
|
|
|
IV. About kamailio.org
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The Kamailio project has roots in a line of projects starting with SIP Express
|
|
Router, then OpenSER and now Kamailio. A merge project was started during the fall
|
|
of 2008 by developers from the OpenSER project, recently renamed to Kamailio.org
|
|
and SIP Express Router (SER) from iptel.org.
|
|
|
|
Kamailio is the result of a merge of the code base and years of experience from
|
|
both developer teams. In release 4.0, during the spring of 2013, the
|
|
merger of the products was completed and a unified product was released.
|
|
|
|
See http://www.sip-router.org/ for the story of SER, OpenSER/Kamailio and kamailio.org.
