[OpenSIPS-Users] Rate limit question

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, John!

It depends on the logic of your platform. If you have multiple 
FreeSWITCH servers behind OpenSIPS, and you want to have a "global" 
limit, then you must do it on OpenSIPS side. It is also recommended to 
do it there because for example if the threashold is reached, you don't 
have to load FreeSWITCH with traffic that's about to be denied. However, 
if you have local (per FreeSWITCH) limits, then you can do it on the 
FreeSWITCH side (with the earlier observations).

Regarding the algorithm, it depends on what you want to limit. If you 
want to do CPS, then TAILDROP or RED is more suitable. If you want to do 
a limitation based on the network load, then use NETWORK.

Also take into account that the way RED and TAILDROP algorithm work, 
they are not so accurate. That's why in OpenSIPS 2.2 we added a new 
algorithm, SBT[1], which is very accurate and custamizable.
