#C088ZNU7QQ5 is there any load balancer logic or technique present in the livekit where if we have multiple trunks or ipsec tunnel then it can handle the calling capacity

Thanks for reaching out, Manas. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — you're asking whether LiveKit includes logic to load-balance calls across multiple SIP trunks or IPsec tunnels to handle call capacity. Short answer: LiveKit provides internal load‑distribution for agents/servers and autoscaling, but it does not perform trunk- or IPsec‑tunnel level load balancing. Distribution across multiple trunks/tunnels is handled by your trunk/network provider or by external network routing. What LiveKit does provide: • Agent/server job distribution with round‑robin and single‑assignment behavior, considers server load (
load_fnc
/ 
load_threshold
) and geographic affinity to place sessions efficiently. • Autoscaling and graceful draining of agent servers to handle increased capacity. • SIP dispatch rules to control how calls are routed into rooms (

), but these do not load‑balance across multiple trunk endpoints. • Guidance on concurrent capacity per agent server (example: a 4‑core/8GB machine handles roughly 10–25 concurrent jobs depending on features used). If your goal is to spread inbound/outbound call capacity across multiple trunks/IPsec tunnels, I can help with options: • Do you want recommendations for design patterns to combine LiveKit with provider-level trunk load balancing (e.g., SIP registrar/edge load balancers, DNS load balancing, SBC clusters)? • Or do you want help mapping your current trunk/tunnel setup so I can suggest how LiveKit’s SIP dispatch rules and autoscaling should be configured? Tell me which option you prefer or share a brief diagram of your trunks/tunnels and desired behavior and I’ll suggest specific steps.

can i use Kamailio/OpenSIPS with livekit for load balancing of the calls based on channel capacity
t
Yes — you can use Kamailio or OpenSIPS in front of LiveKit to load‑balance calls by channel capacity. LiveKit does not handle trunk/tunnel‑level call distribution, so putting a SIP proxy/SBC (Kamailio/OpenSIPS) or SBC cluster at the edge is a common approach. How this typically works: • Kamailio/OpenSIPS handles SIP edge functions (registration, routing, trunk balancing) and can perform capacity‑aware routing using modules or custom logic (dialog/statistics, dispatcher, or realtime DB). • The proxy routes selected calls to LiveKit’s SIP gateway endpoints (or to your SBCs that interface with LiveKit). • Use Kamailio/OpenSIPS to distribute calls based on per‑trunk/channel availability, least‑load, or weighted rules; LiveKit then handles session/agent distribution and media. If you’d like, I can: • Suggest concrete Kamailio/OpenSIPS modules and routing patterns to track channel usage and route to LiveKit. • Outline how to map Kamailio/OpenSIPS routing to LiveKit SIP dispatch rules (
