The SIP Router Project aims to create a common collaboration framework for all projects related to SIP Express Router (aka SER), referred further as x-SER projects. The projects that joined the initiative so far are: SIP Express Router (SER) – the initial project started in 2002 and Kamailio (OpenSER) – the project started as fork of SER in 2005.

The main goals for the project are:

• bring together the developers and user communities of both projects
• reduce maintenance overhead
• avoid duplicated efforts in development
• develop a core framework that is flexible, extensible and scalable
• promote and build a solid open source SIP server project
• ensure business credibility
• make future forking undesirable, this harms everybody, affects credibility and business

A meeting was organized on Nov 10, 2008, in Karlsruhe, Germany. The goal of the meeting was to sort out any issue that is unclear or has potential of risk in this collaboration. A report is available here. As mid of May 2009, most of integration work was done and testing phase started. You can run now Kamailio (OpenSER) and SIP Express Router (SER) modules in the same instance at the same time.
