I've been itching to try Freeswitch


I know FreeSWITCH and Asterisk from the inside out because we ported both of
them to IPv6.

Verdict:

- Asterisk started ugly but is getting much better very quickly. They
actually have paid professional coders working on it, and it shows. They
started participating in the IETF. They recently implemented ICE. They're on
the right track.

- FreeSWITCH started much prettier by reusing third-party libraries. But the
glue code around these libs is absolutely horrendous. That glue code keeps
growing and getting uglier. Their level of clue is dropping.

Right now, I'd pick Asterisk over FreeSWITCH.

Thanks Simon, I was about to say something.  Users that have a hard
time with Asterisk do not understand it.
