Summary

HOMER is a VoIP and real-time communications capture framework for analyzing and monitoring call traffic. It offers advanced search, end-to-end analysis, and packet drill-down, with call-flow and PCAP capture, statistics, analytics, a REST API, and widgets. Its protocol coverage includes SIP, RTCP, RTCP-XR, WebRTC signaling, and log collection. Capture agents support HEP3 encapsulation, encryption, compression, and TLS; server access controls include multi-user LDAP and Radius support. The project supports Docker, and its current HOMER 11 repository describes an all-in-one HEP capture and API server for the Homer 11.x data lake. Documented components include ingest, DuckLake storage, a Node with FlightSQL, and a Coordinator with a REST API. Optional VQRTCP collection and SIPREC support are disabled by default. HOMER is aimed at ITSPs, VoIP providers, and trunk suppliers. It is released under AGPL-3.0 and the open-source plan is free. Commercial development support, 24/7 SLA production support, and advanced training are available by quote.
