[OpenSIPS-Users] [NEW] Dialog replication using a new core interface

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

In long term we plan to use the BIN interface to replicate even more
internal data between multiple OpenSIPS instances, like doing
registration replication (instead of doing it from script via SIP).
Theoretically it may be used for replicating even transaction state
between 2 OpenSIPS instances - imagine having a call ringing on instance
A and being accepted on instance B (after a failover) - 0% losses !

Aside realtime data replication, the BIN interface is to be used also
for exchanging any other type of information between OpenSIPS instances,
like federating multiple instances.

The main advantages of the BIN interface over the MI interface :
    - BIN is binary encoded so much faster (as performance)
    - BIN interface has both sender and receiver in OpenSIPS (MI has
only the receiver)
    - MI is for external usage, while BIN is internal (opensips2opensips)
