The OpenSIPS design

Architecturally speaking, OpenSIPS is formed out of two logical components: the core and modules.

The core is the application itself and it provides the low-level functionalities of OpenSIPS, the definition of various interfaces, and some generic resources.

The modules are shared libraries, loaded on demand at the startup time. Each module implements a well-defined functionality for a specific routing algorithm or authentication method. There are mainly two types of modules in OpenSIPS:

  • Modules providing functionalities and functions directly for the routing script
  • Modules implementing a core-defined interface (such as a module implementing the SQL interface will become a backend to a certain SQL server)
