asterisk users - Dec 2013 - Multiple IAX2 Trunks Load balancing

Hi - I have 2 Asterisk servers connected using 05 IAX2 trunks. I want to
load balance incoming calls over IAX2 trunks. If any trunk goes down the
calls traffic will be shared with other available trunks. When it gets Up
the script is supposed to perform as desired i.e in load balance mode.


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Generally, incoming traffic (http/mail/sip/vpn/etc) can easily spread
with the random functions with iptables. 
Perhaps also have a look at:
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/VS-NAT.html 


But i feel that might not work in this case, if all your
trunk-connections are already up-and-running.

If so, you might contemplate an alternative approach.
It sounds that you want to do the load balancing trick upon the
application layer (eg. within asterisk)

Perhaps it is possible to do the L.B. at the O.S. or network level, and
let all trunks appear to asterisk to one single trunk.
