Overview

Swarms

Swarms are:

• A collection of Communications Instances (Intelligent Agents)
• Agents within a Swarm share common settings
  • One Swarm could have Proxy/Registrar/Voicemail/Instant Messaging
  • Alternatively, there could be a Voicemail Swarm, a Proxy/Registrar Swarm,
• A single Swarm can be configured from a single system.
• Multiple Swarms can be configured to form a single system.
• A Swarm could consist of a single Agent.

Intelligent Agents

Services that operate as independent Agents that are all REST configurable.

• Each Agent would have a collection of other open source projects to handle required communications duties.
• The Agents will collectively be able to operate as a Swarm.
• Each Agent will be lightweight and able to operate on physical, virtual or container based server platforms.
• Each instance will be able to be backed up / restored with XML or JSON configuration file.
