The new breed of Open PBXs/Switches such as Asterisk, FreeSwitch, Yate, etc.. are pushing the boundaries of Open Source Telephony. In this article I will discuss ways to extend the current Open PBX architecture to support scalable multi system architectures for high capacity media gateway applications, using Craig Southeren's Woomera TDM protocol and Sangoma's TDM API. An added benefit of such architectures is the ability to integrate GPL and NON-GPL code in order to achieve desired solution without violating the GPL licensing. The ultimate goal of this architecture is to rapidly produce high quality telephony products by combining existing GPL and Non-GPL telephony technologies.
