Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Ok... what is 'sip show peers'
really used
for?
I use it to order pizza. Just kidding, but among others it tells you
what IP address Asterisk knows for a peer, as well as the qualify
status.

If I start Asterisk with realtime enabled, a 'sip show
peers' yields none. As each peer (phone) registers, or a call
is made to the peer, Asterisk adds them to the list returned
by 'sip show peers'. Correct?
Apparently Asterisk doesn't refer to thie list however,
when deciding where a peer is located. It uses astdb instead
(I have rtcachefriends=yes). I cleared the fullcontact field
in the database, and placed a call. The only place that
Asterisk could get the peer's IP address from was astdb, as
the peer wasn't in 'sip show peers' as I purposefully cleared
the fullcontact field for all peers in the database.
So... what's the point of this? Is it used for anything? It
looks like it uses it for voicemail, but that's it. Ie if the
peer isn't in 'sip show peers' then voicemail does not get
delivered, EVEN if it's in astdb.
Also, if all my phones are defined as friends, why does a
'sip show friends' return a smaller list than 'sip show
peers'??? If the phones are all defined as friends, which are
both peer and user, then a 'sip show friends' should return
all the phones, but it does not.
No wonder I'm confused.
