Hi,

I couple of my team members are working on translating a very long Asterisk Dial Plan to FreeSWITCH XML Dial Plan. Now reference to wiki link below,

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FreeSwitch_Dialplan_XML#About_Dialplan_Variables

The dial plan variables are not getting initialized as expected. I was just wondering if we move this variable get and set stuff to any language module say mod_perl, will that make any difference performance wise? I mean we will be invoking a Perl interpreter for each incoming call, won't that be expensive in terms of RAM and CPU usage and thus reducing number of calls this FS deployment can handle?

I have guys with programming skills in Perl, PHP, Python, Java and LUA languages. Which language do you recommend for this, again in terms of speed and performance?
Thank you.

Why not make your gays have with all those programming skills try each one of them. Say,
one guy programs in Perl, the other in PHP, still the other in Python, still again
the other in Java and finally one in LUA. Take note, same dialplan project and let them
not compare notes or translate the code of the other. Then at the end of the day,
testing day, let the code produced be subjected to which one does the job well. Sure
there could be one and those code that's not worthy enough well just do a "rm -rf <this_guy>"
in your ranks.

Thank you so much. Of course we are not doing a blind translation, but at the very basic we will need to get and set certain variable at different stage of call processing.

Another question in same context, Can we do post-hangup call processing? I mean like in Asterisk, we have extension "h" which is called after hangup. Can you guide a bit how to do it in FS? Does FS has any such special extensions?

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Why is it not recommended to do the brdge app right in the script?  The reason I ask this, I did have lot of trouble using Park/Fifo app in the script and the whole thing started working after I did the UUID transfer and have the things I wanted executed as part of the Dial plan.

Also, How many concurrent sessions can one support in ESL using Python/Ruby compared to using Lua?

Thanks.

generally it keeps the overhead of running the script around during the whole call.
