Table 11.1. Comparison of SIP proxy servers
| Feature | repro | Kamailio |
|---|---|---|
| Packages | Available in Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora | |
| Other | Either SIP proxy can be installed from source code on any platform | |
| Ease of installation | Single config file, federated mode is enabled by simple config settings | Flexible config file format, which is more like a scripting language and suitable for advanced customization. If a sample config from the Kamailio teams meets your needs, then it is very easy to install. |
| Module/plugin support | Extensions can be developed in C++ or Python | Modular plugin architecture with many plugins available |
| Database/user storage | Both support a common SQL table structure, so you can start with one and switch to the other, using either PostgreSQL or MySQL server. | |
| Management UI | HTML web interface enabled by default | Optional HTML UI available |
Recommendation: If you are not sure, or can't find a suitable Kamailio configuration file for your needs, start with repro and you can change to Kamailio later if you find a reason to do so.
