Hello, all. In our multi-tenant environment, we would like to be able to use the reinvite media redirection within Asterisk for calls within a tenant but not between tenants. We would like inter-tenant calls to be fully proxied by the Asterisk server. I think the answer is, "we can't," but I thought I'd ask anyway.
I'd dearly like to remove the substantial traffic associated with intra-tenant traffic from the Asterisk server and reduce the intra-tenant latency by doing so. However, I am very, very hesitant to allow our VPN connections to tenants to function as a router between tenants allowing one tenant to directly access phones on another tenant (that's not as wild as it sounds because of our use of the ISCS project - iscs.sourceforge.net). Since the tenants are all connecting via VPN, we are using RFC1918 addresses and no NAT is involved thus the canreinvite=nonat option does not help us. If we set canreinvite=nonat, that will allow for intra-tenant direct media but, if one tenant tries to call another via SIP, it will redirect the media at the Asterisk level but the packets will be dropped at the firewall / router level (or sooner as there may be no route to the destination) and the call will connect but with no sound. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - John -- John A.
