Thanks to a sponsor, iptel.org SIP services have been enhanced by a "SIP Looking Glass" feature. Looking glass, like in the IP world, allows observers to watch characteristics of traffic in a particular domain. The equipment provided courtesy of iptego features, among others, comprehensible statistics of SIP user agents using the iptel.org site. Warning: the equipment is still in BETA stage.

Release candidate 1 has been thoroughly tested and also used in several commercial production environments. It has thus proven stable.

SERi 2.0 Release Candidate 1 was made available May 12, 2007. A detailed ChangeLog is available, while an overview of news can be found in the NEWS file.

Installation Instructions

You can either compile SER from the sources or install a binary package. Standard SER is fairly easy to compile, so compiling it from sources should be fine. You should have a SER 2.0 up and running in 15-30 minutes by following the procedures below!

• These election rules were established by consensus on the following mailing lists: serusers@iptel.org,serdev@iptel.org,sems@iptel.org,semsdev@iptel.org.
• The basic principles were discussed on the developers' meeting in Prague, April 12.
• The principles were put forward on the lists, discussed, and modified with a summary posted to the lists for approval on April 28 by Greger V. Teigre.
• This page documents the agreed rules and was edited by Greger V. Teigre on May 17, adding semsdev@iptel.org as a voting list.
• Any modifications to these rules agreed by the community should be documented here with a history.
• May 18, 2007, GVT, updated #6, made explicit nomination/voting procedure by adding "(by posting to at least one of the lists)."
• May 29, 2007, GVT, reversed May 18 addition, and added items 9 to 13 suggested in GVT post on May 25 to make explicit nomination and voting procedures, including an option for secret voting (no comments were received on the suggesting, thus accepted by the community)

One big problem with SERi has been the complexity of the SER configuration language. Only apache (httpd) can (almost) compare in the flexibility and number of ways a piece of software can be configured. This has resulted in a pretty steep learning curve for beginners. SIP can be used for an increasing number of applications and each deployment has its own, specific needs. Thus, SER's configuration language must be powerful.

The professional SER user has other issues, like maintaining multiple configurations across server farms and setups, sharing some code, but still needing individual tailoring to each server. '
