“So, we won’t use any shortcuts in the installation. I
strongly advise you to install OpenSIPS using Debian. If you choose
to install on another platform, you will have to deal with init
scripts and fix the installation of the other packages.

“Hardware requirements

“There are no minimum hardware requirements for OpenSIPS. It
will run on an ordinary PC. The best bets we have are from
performance tests realized on the 1.2 version. A PC with the
following specifications was capable of 28 million complete calls
per hour. The testing server was an ordinary desktop—Intel(R)
Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz, 1 GB of memory, and 100 MBps Ethernet
card. Unfortunately, there are currently no formulas for OpenSIPS
dimensioning. The correct hardware, CPU, and memory shall be
obtained empirically.

“Software requirements

“The OpenSIPS software runs on a variety of platforms such as
Linux, BSD, and Solaris. Some generic packages are available to
certain versions of Linux and Solaris. These packages can be
downloaded from www.opensips.org/Resources/Downloads. The following
packages are required to compile OpenSIPS.”
