RTPProxy enhancements

RTPProxy is a media relay server integrated in several Voice over IP (VoIP) platforms. It is mainly used to make communication between clients behind NAT (Network Address Translation) possible, but also provides several features like call recording or playing music announcements. As part of a VoIP platform, it acts as a standalone server in public networks controlled by a SIP server such as OpenSIPS that provides the call establishment logic. RTPProxy handles media streams (audio, video, fax), relaying RTP (Real Time Protocol) packets from one end to the other.

Architecture re-design in order to offer multi-core support

Added lines 83-91:

RTPProxy processes all the RTP traffic in a single thread, thus underutilizes the resources that modern computers provide. This project aims to enhance the RTPProxy media relay with a multi-threaded design that uses the computers resources more efficient while increasing the server's throughput.

Expected Results

The first challenge of this project is to study the possible techniques of parallelizing a network IO bound application and find the best approach to use in a media relay server. The next step is the implementation of this model in the RTPProxy server. Finally, some performance measurements have to be performed in order to prove the efficiency of the design.

Knowledge Prerequisites The project requires strong C skills and knowledge of the Posix Threads API. Some experience with GDB would be a plus.

Failover mechanism for the on-going media sessions

Brief Explanation

RTPProxy runs as a daemon that continuously processes users traffic. If it stops, due to unexpected errors like software crashes or hardware failures or even explicitely turn down for maintenance, then the users will no longer be able to hear each other. Therefore, in order to ensure availability a failover mechanism is required.

Expected Results

The goal of this project is to design and implement a replication mechanism for the RTPProxy server. Namely, each instance of the proxy has to duplicate its internal media sessions information to one or more remote instances.

Knowledge Prerequisites The project requires strong C network programming skills.

Real-time collecting/reporting of statistics

Brief Explanation

In order to monitor the status of the entire VoIP platform, we have to monitor each of its subsystems. Since RTPProxy is one of them, we would like to be able to monitor it closely using multiple indices. Although it provides a way to retrieve some statistics, the current method is not very flexible and only provides limited information.

Expected Results

This project aims to improve the statistics interface of the RTPProxy Media Server by adding a set of new monitoring indices. A few examples are processed sessions, ongoing calls, failed sessions, etc.

Knowledge Prerequisites This project requires good skills in C, as well as networking and communication protocols knowledge.

STUDENT PROPOSAL GUIDE

read and learn about OpenSIPS as much as you can. Here are some quick, basic (and fun) things you could do:
- do some reading on VoIP, SIP, SIP call flows
- understand what OpenSIPS is, install a softphone on your favorite Linux distribution, register it to opensips.org, and call razvan@opensips.org :D
- now that you've acquainted yourself with the proxy as a user, download the source code and start digging and learning as a developer
- now is a good time to read the project proposals, and pick the one which suits you best
- if you don't understand anything, it's perfectly normal! go back to bullet 1.

You should also enrol yourself in the Users and Devel mailing lists. More info in the Contact page.
Communication is important. Students which actively communicate with us are more likely to be selected for a given project (there are exceptions that prove the rule, of course). For the quick and witty developers among you, here is a list of interesting things you could do while learning (pun intended):
- You could jump in the developer courses and start learning like a pro
- You could skim over our TODO list and try to handle some of the tasks (please talk to us on IRC before attempting a task)
