VocalScape Networks announced today that they have released a load balancer for VoIP IP Telephony usage.
The Vocalscape Load Balancer began as an open source project which was adopted and improved upon by Vocalscape. It was made compliant with Asterisk, a popular open source PBX, and the algorithm was revised to more evenly distribute calls. Previously, the Load Balancer would send calls to a primary server and only when the primary server was overburdened would calls be sent to additional servers. The new algorithm balances the load by evenly distributing the calls between the servers. As an additional benefit, the Load Balancer provides failover capabilities. If a server is not responding, the Load Balancer will route all calls to servers that are functional.
"Vocalscape has developed the Load Balancer to meet our customers' needs," commented Ron McIntyre, President of Vocalscape. "As our customers grow their user base, they will need to add additional servers to handle the higher volume of calls. The Vocalscape Load Balancer will allow them to evenly share the load among multiple servers."
The earliest known (to me) SIP load balancer was at Vovida.org. May be this is the one they improved. Vovida Org was one of the pioneering VoIP opensource sites that became less functional. Follow the links to get an idea of how it was like, to develop and write VoiP applications in those days (Ha! it was only 5-6 years ago).
