[OpenSIPS-Users] [NEW] Mid-registrar: scalable registration and call forking

[Liviu Chircu]

Hi Samy!

Very good questions!

- thanks for pointing this out; I have put mid-registrar replication on 
the TODO list (the code needs just a few tweaks in order for this to work)

- throttling SUBSCRIBE/PUBLISH requests is definitely feasible (there 
were actually quite a few discussions regarding this during both ClueCon 
and AstriCon). Just as a note, the mid-registrar implementation is very 
light, and cannot be quickly reused in the code of the presence modules, 
since it relies on an usrloc API extension.

Thanks for the feedback!
