Hi Maxim,

It is good to know about the rtp_cluster, but aside simplifying things, 
it does not bring any new functionality - the LB and failover between 
RTPproxy nodes can be done now in OpenSIPS module .
The most challenging thing we are looking at is the ability to move 
calls between different instances of RTPP (for HA purposes)..or some 
restart persistence for the sessions - without something like that it's 
very hard to deal with SW/HW failures ; there are ways to go around for 
scheduled stops/restarts (maintenance), but non for unexpected failures.

Thanks and Regards,

Bogdan-Andrei Iancu
