[asterisk-users] prohibit CallerID presentation
On ISDN lines it's possible to prohibit the presentation of caller id, what if I have a SIP gateway, something like an Audiocodes Mediant 1000. How do I prohibit the caller id presentation on that one?

Every single PC made in the last 4 years I came across, can handle this type of bandwidth. BTW, this all amounts to just over 39 MBYTES per second. 312.5/8=39.0625 Not that I disagree with your point, the bandwidth is not huge, but the math is a little fuzzy; First of all, a g.711u stream over UDP is closer 80k than 64k, the payload is 64k + udp overhead + IP overhead. Now consider that the call is originated as SIP (llok back a few days in the thread), and lets assume the call goes to an external hard or softphone, and lets also assume that there is a reason to keep the RTP stream running through asterisk (monitoring, recording, transferring, dtmf, ability to re-enter IVR, etc). I make all the assumptions safely since the thread was started by someone looking to set up a large call center and I have followed thread out of curiosity. So a 80k full duplex RTP stream originates on media gateway somewhere, hits the asterisk box, is internally bridged, and is sent back out to a phone somewhere. My math says this puts a 160kbps full duplex load in the NIC. Ok, now lets go for 5000 of them. 160kbps*5000=80kbps or 800mbps - full duplex. Have you ever seen a NIC or switch that can run GigE full duplex at 80% utilization and not at least start to fall apart? No no no. First you come to the conclusion that you have 800Mbps of traffic, but this is bi directional thus 400Mbps in each direction. Then you're comparing you're 800Mbps to 1Gbps. If you compare bi directional you need to count the card as 2Gbps. So you are nowhere near 80% but closer to 40%. To get to a comfortable load you would need 2x GigE NICs (for ~40% utilization), of course now we are adding additional overhead for the bonded NIC trunking protocol. Is still contend this is not practical without multiple very high end servers and round robin call origination from the upstream provider delivered over something like GigE or OCx. Maybe someone will step up and post some real-world application limits based on experience... ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Kristian Larsson, Net At Once AB Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +46 470 592717 Cell: +46 704 910401 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Indeed, a FreeBSD machine doing just routing lookups can handle somewhere around 600Kpps. FreeBSD is using a Radix tree for routing lookups, by using Linux you may choose something better performing such as LC-trie where you're able to push quite a lot more.

So I did. To handle 5000 calls coming in over a PRI, you'd need 210 or so T1s or 170 E1's. Yes. All of those would generate 320Mega BYTES of data per second (eg, 32Gigabit/sec) No. Using G711A (ie, worst case bandwidth wise): it's 64kbit/s not 64Kbyte/s so it's 320Megabits per seconds Using g729 it's a lot less. And even if it was 320Megabytes/s that equals a little over 3Gbps not 32. There is no way possible that you're going to pump that amount of data through a PC. Don't care about codecs and dialplans, PC's just don't have that sort of internal bandwidth from peripherals. Well, with your above miscalculations, no. But 3.2Gbps is possible with a few boxes. And there are PCs with at least four different PCI-X buses, that's 4GB/s so it might even be possible with one machine. Anyway, it's still a lot of calls. If you do, honestly, need to handle 5k calls, you'd probably have to have a bank of Cisco 5850s doing the termination - With a max of 5 DS3 (1 DS3 = 28 T1's) into each one, you'll need 8, or probably 9 as you'd want to have one as a hot spare. Each of those DS3's would go into some beefy switching fabric (note, that each one is producting 225mbit) and you'd have some sort of asterisk box with huge internal bandwidth handling each one. Cross connect all 9 asterisk boxes via 10Gbit networks (note, you'll need PCI-16x 10g cards) and have a pair of voicemail servers. I'd suggest a pair of big Sun boxes. Then, of course, you have the issue of getting the calls _out_ of the asterisk machines. You've just doubled your bandwidth requirements, so you'll need to double up on the asterisk machines, and split the network up further.

So the actual limit is probably mostly restricted to how fast your PC is. I know other telco engines easily drag 16 E1's, but I am not sure Asterisk can do that even without echo cancel? You have to test... I'd say one of the things you will run into is the number of interrupts coming at you with so many cards. Personally I recommend one card per box. The card goes for $1800(I buy Sangoma with echo cancel) while the computer goes for $800 (HP Proliant 145). So the computer is really the small expense here and with one card per box I instead have several boxes and thus better redundancy. One card per box also guarantess I won't have any interrupt problems and it's capable of transcoding.

Hey! I'm having a small problem. I'm using Realtime to store SIP account information. Dialing works just fine, but when dialing a person already on the phone I don't get a busy tone. Eg, Phone 100 calls 200 and they chat with each other phone 150 calls 100, and gets a regular ringing tone what I would is for phone 150 to receive a busy tone since phone 100 is already speking with someone else, how would I go about doing this?

Probably lots of reasons why this is too complicated, though One being that it must be the device that NAT phones register with that delivers calls to them. Otherwise, the NAT device sees a packet coming from an unknown IP address and drops it (for common types of NAT such as restricted cone). Since SER needs to deliver calls, it really needs to be SER that accepts REGISTERs and holds the registration information. The Asterisks then send calls from phones to the SER heartbeat address for delivery. This is what we do in our ITSP in a box product. It gives us full redundancy and failover with the registration capacity of SER and the features of Asterisk. Could you perhaps be as kind as to give us a few example configurations and some more detailed documentation on how you've done this. I'm very interested in building something similar, right now I'm running one Asterisk but with estimated growth I'll need two and using a SER in front to load balance would be a really nice solution.

[Asterisk-Users] SetCallerPres
I'm trying to set caller presentation to prohibited and I'm having slight problems doing it. Using a machine that has a Sangoma facing my Telco works but when using an asterisk that talks to the first machine using SIP it does not work. I suspect that SetCallerPres is not transitive, ie it's not communicated between SIP peers but need to be set at the actual machine having the Sangoma card, correct? Anyone have a workaround for this? How should I set callerpres to prohib when doing SIP to SIP calls? Or when calling via SIP and then out on the PRI, how can I set callerpres on the machine originating the call?

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk - Avaya system
Just the other day I tried connecting an Avaya IP403 Office IP PBX to my asterisk. The IP403 is currently used for all the phones at our office and it is connected via it's own PRI to the PSTN. Now I have a Asterisk machine with three PRIs used for our SIP services. To be able to utilize our capacity better I would like to let the Avaya connect to the Asterisk and share the three PRIs that it has. So, I connected the Avaya to my Asterisk, configured the Sangoma card to act as the CO side. PRI came up and I'm all happy. I try: dial [EMAIL PROTECTED] and voila it dials the correct extension on the Avaya. I'm even happier! :) Now I try to dial out, after punching the four first digits the Avaya dials out. The asterisk in turn dials out to the PSTN. No matter which number I try it just dials out after the fourth digit. If I punch something shorter, like a three digit number it waits for a while and then dials. Is this some feature to let the CO know of which area code the calls is going ahead of time?

Hi! I was hoping someone might answer a few questions. For a SIP user it is possible to configure something called regcontext and regexten. My understanding is that when the use registers with asterisk it will automatically add an extension for the user in the context specified by regcontext? How would I go about doing this with Asterisk RealTime. I have quite a few users and it would be really great if there could be some form of automatic extension adding.

[Asterisk-Users] Complicated Dialing plan routing
Hey everyone, I'm having a slight problem with my dialplan which I was hoping you could help me with. First let me explain the scenario; I have a few hundred different customers split into a few different area codes. What I want to allow them to do is to call each other normally, ie with area code and if the called party is within their own area code they should be able to call them without first typing in the area code. If the number dialed does not exist in my dialing plan it should go out through a PRI extension to the PSTN. Ie. 0470-112233 should be able to call 0470-445566 by calling either 0470445566 or 445566 and if the extension 0470445566 doesn't exist it should try the PRI. I have tried using the Goto command to jump between different contexts for the different area code, but if I use Goto(0470,445566,1) and 445566 doesn't exist it doesn't go out the PRI which it should. I've also experimented with using include and different contexts which doesn't seem to work either. So far the only way I've made it work is to have two extensions one for 0470445566 and one for 445566 and a lot of different contexts... I would like to avoid this and just have the extension in one place and instead use some smart dialing plan to compensate for area codes and the alike. I presume someone else is already doing what I want to do and perhaps could share their knowledge. Let me also mentioned I've searched the list archive but came up empty handed. Please CC me as I'm not currently on the list and thank you.

If the other party hangs up before I do there is no problem. I live in Sweden and so I use what I think is Swedish settings for everything. It would be nice if some could provide me with the regional settings for Sweden.
