[OpenSIPS-Users] MediaProxy questions

[Muhammad Shahzad Shafi]

OK, let me try to explain. 

Mediaproxy consists of two components,
the dispatcher and the relay. The dispatcher is kind of controller for
relay component. It is usually installed on same machine as opensips and
can be used to control many relays running on different machine in
LAN/WAN. This design is so flexible that you can have relays running in
different geographical locations and you can control them all using
central dispatcher. 

Secondly installed of compiling media proxy
yourself, better to just use pre-built packages. Just add the apt
repository suitable for you OS at,


http://projects.ag-projects.com/projects/documentation/wiki/Repositories


and run this, 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install
mediaproxy-dispatcher mediaproxy-relay mediaproxy-web-sessions

For more
details, see
this,

http://mediaproxy.ag-projects.com/projects/mediaproxy/wiki/InstallationGuide

It
will install all dependencies along with relevant components of media
proxy.

Lastly, the ip forwarding is only need for at media relay, since
this component actually handles the media exchange. 

Hope this helps.


Thank you.

Those are useful in their own way (and I thank the authors), but I'm
still not 100% clear.

my Linux distro in order to install/run MediaProxy. I've searched how to
compile the kernel with those modules/features and I can't find anything
specific, just general instructions on how to compile the kernel from
source. (If anyone knows of something specific to MediaProxy please
point me in the right direction!)

- I'm making a big assumption that you'd install OpenSIPS and MediaProxy
on separate boxes in a production network. If so, I'm not sure which box
I would permanently configure IP forwarding on? The dispatcher
(OpenSIPS) or the relay (MediaProxy)? Or is it both?
