[VoiceOps] Anyone using OpenSIPS/OpenSER/Kamailio to interface with L3

[Matthew S. Crocker]

'Out of the box' (tarball) OpenSIPS doesn't do anything really, the default config is pretty basic.  It has a lot of add-on modules that can do just about everything.  You can limit the number of SIP messages/second from a peer.  You can also build some spiffy iptables rules in the underlying Linux machine.  With enough tweaking you can get OpenSIPS to make your coffee in the morning as it responds to a SIP INVITE from your alarm clock.
