Re: [asterisk-users] AstDB/Berkely DB - Hash function? Balanced-Tree? b-Tree? Linked List?
Thanks for your reply Jay. You're quite right. It would have been better to say npa/nxx is a relatively evenly distributed keyspace. To answer your question specifically, no, I have not done a distribution analysys (though it would be interesting). The point I was trying to make is that a serial list of all active unique 'npanxx' strings in the NANP would be an easier keyspace to index than the other 'organic' keyspaces that databases often have to work with, (such as the customer name index) -K On Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:27:52 -0400, Jay R.

This is weird. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. We spent 6 hours on phone with Digium support yesterday and could not locate an issue within asterisk itself. Have you tried putting a soft phone on the same machine as the asterisk box? Put a sound card in there, connect a microphone, or at least a speaker, and try calling your soft phone. Does the call go through between the system and itself?
