hello,
freeswitch is Awesome and perfect!
if you know XML, freeswitch use XML for there configuration file, no
same to asterisk that trying to create a configuration language!
this unic featur let you integrate freeswitch with any Application that
support and Parce XML including Web 2.0
freeswitch also support protocol transcoding, including SIP, H.323,
Iax2, Skype and GTalk!
Real Time Feature: freeswitch support XML_Curl that let you configure
freeswitch remotly from a web server that fetch data from a DB and
return it to freeswitch in XML format
XMLRPC let you execute remote api command using your web browser or your
XMLRPC application
about Event Socket, this let you build any type of application that talk
to freeswitch or freeswitch talk to it in inbound and outbound mode
good luk!

As a background, I ran an asterisk consulting company for about 3
years that I gave up on 2 years ago after repeatedly failing to
achieve any sort of stability on any sort install over about 30
phones, I gave up.
Maybe that was wrong, I am open to the possibility that I just didn't
know enough and I was building things wrong, but I worked inside the
asterisk code (which I feel is a hopeless mess), I implemented a few
small custom features, anyway...
I'm coming back into the VoIP space now, and I'm wondering what sort
of issues can I expect in trying to pick up and learn freeswitch?
From what I've read on the website, it appears to have a much more
sane architecture. I've used Cisco, Broadsoft, and asterisk in the
past. By far the least stable and worst general call quality was
asterisk. I constantly contended with strange call quality issues in
asterisk, lots of echo (even with hardware echo cancellation cards),
lots of jitter, lots of call break up (even on small systems with
10-20 users, using QoS on the network, and in general doing everything
I could to prioritize voice over anything else).
When I used Cisco call manager and broadsoft, the voice quality issues
were basically non-existant, as long as the network was running QoS
echo, stutter, calls breaking up, just didn't happen. So, I guess my
question is, does freeswitch show a marked improvement over asterisk
in this department? As long as you configure QoS and have hardware
echo cancellation does it actually work reliably?
Thanks for any additional information about freeswitch you can provide
as well. I am a software developer primarily by trade, but I do lots
of consulting type work in the SME space and I've had a couple
projects thrown to me that require some integration with a phone
system, and I just can't in good conscience recommend asterisk anymore.
