Support for multiple Media servers and routing rules for routing MGCP traffic and patching SDP

First task here should be that Restcomm is capable of talking to multiple Media Servers instances. We can imagine at first doing a round robin algorithm for selecting the Media Server automatically.

The second step would be to make the Media Server algorithm selection pluggable so that custom algorithm could be used to better assign specific calls to specific media server instances.

Hi @deruelle @gvagenas

I considered this scenario:
I have 3 working MS instances and one Restcomm instance which communicates with them. Each of this MS instances has certain CPU load, based on processes of other Restcomm instance connections. Here, i suppose i should consider the response time,resource use and network congestion as well. So, based on these parameters, Restcomm should be able to select the most appropriate MS which will make the quickest respond.

Does this scenario covers the needs for the first part?
Do we need to handle also the load balancing/distribution?

@atika2k As a first step, let's keep it simple and use a round robin algorithm to select the Media Server and potentially allow a system to create pluggable algorithms with default algorithm being round robin.

@atika2k were you able to make progress on this or there is blockers ?
