PortaSwitch architecture

Every PortaSwitch application (e.g., OCS server, web interface, etc.) consists of a combination of processes (subcomponents such as the RADIUS or Diameter daemons, the Apache server, statistics collection tools, etc.). All of these processes possess certain functions and interact with a number of other processes. If one process fails, a service that is using it may stop working (even if this service is provided from another server). Hence, it’s important to understand the interconnection among PortaSwitch applications (and their subcomponents) and learn the procedures that ensure this interconnection.

Note that the Configuration server must have a connection with all other PortaSwitch components via a private network interface. This network interface is also used by the PortaSwitch servers to interconnect with each other.

To learn which ports must be open on PortaSwitch servers, please refer to the What is the recommended setup for PortaSwitch behind a firewall? section in the PortaSwitch Installation Guide.

For a detailed description of PortaSIP component and processes, please refer to the PortaSIP architecture section in the PortaSIP Administrator Guide.
