[asterisk-users] prohibit CallerID presentation

2006-10-12 Thread Kristian Larsson
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?

Regards,
  Kristian

I just love this attitude.

Could someone managing these lists outline the
requirements to change the lists?
Do we need a vote or is it something which can be
simply adopted once the right people recognize the
problem (and if so, who is the right people)?

 The volume/traffic on this list has been getting pretty heavy.  I find
 it hard to follow certain discussions and there are some that I am not
 interested in.  Perhaps, we could split the list into two:  One for
 discussing hardware (client phones and cards) and one for the software
 (configuration, problems, etc...)  Or some other better scheme that
 someone can propose.

 Regarding OSPF, so your saying you have multiple * boxes setup with same

BGP is not better suited for this then OSPF is. By
default it is slower and you simply don't need
everything that's in BGP.
OSPF with fast hellos is a much cleaner approach,
and you can set costs for interfaces.

 Are you then using regexten on all servers so when a * tries to make a call
 it can find where to go, or are you using something else?

  No, only if a network interface in the server fails. We have two network
  interfaces per system (actually we have four, but two are on a private
  network with a MySQL server). If one of the network interfaces fails, OSPF
  will switch the default route over to the other interface pretty quick

  question
  
  I don't know how much 1+1 by you is, but lets recalculate this for a
  moment:
  First the bandwidth per channel:
  http://www.airewaves.com/aire/support/bandwidth_explain.php
  1.5mbps (mega *BITS* not BYTES per second) to a full T1, which equals
  1536 Kbits, each channel then takes 64kbps.
  64*5,000=320,000kbps.
  32,000/1,024=312.5 Mbps (round off to Mbps), no where close to a Gb.
  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...

 additionally, 5000 simultaneous SIP calls at 20ms intervals will send,
 
 5,000 * 50 * 2 = 500,000 packets per second (full duplex).
 
 not too many boxes can handle such packet load, in spite of the relatively 
 small packet sizes.
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. But this is pure routing
done in the kernel, with asterisk you have to
bring the packets to userspace and back limiting
the performance by quite a lot.

 The question is somewhat ludicrous, and I'm slightly surprised that
 no-one has sat down and done the maths about bandwidth utilization. So I

 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.
 
  
 
 I'd take a guess that you could do it under USD$1million (just for
 hardware) but I wouldn't be surprised if it was USD$10million.

 Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] 5,000 concurrent calls system rollout
 question
 
  
 
 Hi, Zoa, 
 
 yes, these calls are from SIP to SIP. We will have more than 3000 (more
 like 5000)concurrent calls come into system and we will need to handle
 them. 
 
 We will also need an IVR function as well. 
 
 I am not up to speed on Asterisk yet, so, I am a little bit confused by
 all the different ways of doing it. Someone is talking about IAX:  I
 think it can only be used between Asterisk servers, right? 
 
 In this particula rscenario we are getting calls as SIP directly from
 carrier, so we will not need to do any conversion (I think). We just
 route the calls to the destination, that's it. 
 
 Any suggestions on how to proceed? Can Asterisk do it? 
 
 I read somewhere that it takes about 30 MHz per one voice channel, so if
 we want to have 5,000 calls, we will need 150,000 MHz? Thats like 50 3
 GHz machines... Not going to fly with our people.  
 
 Or do 30 MHz are only necessary for transcoding? In other words, if it
 comes in as SIP and we keep it that way, can we make it a bt more
 feasible number?  
 
   
 
  Zoa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 
 
   
   It can be done, are those 3000 calls sip to sip ? If so it could
 easily
   be done, if they are not sip to sip you will need a bunch of
 servers.

Hi,
   
we are currently considering different options for rolling out
 a large

Can this be done with Asterisk? Has it been done before?
   
I really would like an input on this.
   
Thanks!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] How many digium cards per server ?

 hi
 
 I know people in here use 4 boards, but I believe the only real 
 limitation is the number of PCI slots in your computer.
Is this 4 E1 boards?
 
 Obviously, with 4x4xE1/T1 boards (480 B channels) you need a pretty fast 
 monster to drag it around due to the way the zaptel/asterisk works. 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.

 For the rest of the conversation (those with both speaking):
 
 5000 * 64k * 2 = 640M
Indeed you are correct, I'll defend myself with
stating that I presumed we were talkin full duplex ;)
 
 It should in theory work with a 1Gbits Ethernet, but you would be 
 counting on ca 65% utilization. I would normally plan with  30-40 % 
 utilization and you need 2 for redundancy anyway.
Though now you're wrong ;)
65% isn't correct. If you're counting both in and
out traffic you'll have to assume that the Gigg
card is capable of 1Gbps in each direction thus
2Gbps in total and 640M of 2000G is about 30% or
just as much as 320M is of 1G.

I don't know the average packet size of a voice
RTP packet but I guess it's quite small. Being a
network guy I've dealt quite a lot with software
routers and a normal Linux machine can forward
about 500kpps, and this is mere forwarding if you
run this via Asterisk you should probably split
that by ten.

[Asterisk-Users] No congestion

2006-01-20 Thread Kristian Larsson
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?

 I was thinking along the same lines, but for a dynamic setup it should

 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

2006-01-03 Thread Kristian Larsson
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?

Thank you

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PRI problems.

2006-01-02 Thread Kristian Larsson
I have an Avaya IP Office PBX connected to an
Asterisk system via a Sangoma ISDN PRI card.
Dialing from the as
terisk system into the avaya works just fine but
when trying to call from a phone connected to the
avaya syste
m something goes wrong. After punching the first
four digits the Avaya calls out, shouldn't it wait
for all di
gits and then dial out?
If I try to dial a three digit number it waits for
a while then dials.

Is this some feature to let the CO know of which
area code the calls is going ahead of time?
Is there some way to circumvent this using hacks
on the asterisk side?

 Looks like you need to enable overlapdial=yes on the Asterisk side.  It
 will then wait for additional digits sent from the Avaya after the initial
 ones sent with the SETUP.
I did try enabling overlapdial=yes but I saw no
real change. Is there any other variable to go
with it that I might need to tune?

I am quite new to the whole PRI thing. What does
it do when setting up a call?

First a SETUP and after that it dials?

 for all di
 gits and then dial out?
 If I try to dial a three digit number it waits for
 a while then dials.
 
 Is this some feature to let the CO know of which
 area code the calls is going ahead of time?
 Is there some way to circumvent this using hacks
 on the asterisk side?

 I sincerely believe that it's completely non-sense to make a channel for 
 Skype.
 Skype is a *proprietary* protocol. If they(ebay) don't like the idea of
 someone messing around their network, 
 they will change the protocol specification, launching a new version, for 
 example, and *all* the work and time spent on this will just going to 
 sink.
 Probably it is better to loose time with something else.
I agree. Perhaps put the time into making new cool
features so that Skype folks can look at some SIP
client and say 'wow - I want that too, let's
switch from Skype' ;)
The world would be a better place without Skype,
without proprietary standards..

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk - Avaya system

2005-12-18 Thread Kristian Larsson
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?
Anyone with Avaya knowledge know how to turn this
off?
Is there some way to circumvent this using hacks
on the asterisk side?

Thanks

Regards
  Kristian

[Asterisk-Users] RealTime and automatic extension registration.

2005-12-13 Thread Kristian Larsson
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.

Regards,
   Kristian.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Hardware recomendation

2005-12-08 Thread Kristian Larsson
How would one go about to implement such a
cluster?
How do the different Asterisk boxes know of the
extensions on all the other boxes?
Is each client bound to it's box or can it connect
to any box in the cluster, ie if one fails can the
other take over and share the load of the failed
on between themselves?

I would be very interested in hearing more of such
solutions and people experiences with it.

Regards,
Kristian Larsson

 Yes,
 
 transcoding is not going to work for that density.
 asterisk doesn't do g723, and even if it would your system would not be 
 able to handle more than 150 simultaneous g711 to g729/g723 transcodings.
 
 If you would go for plain g711, you could do 500, but i don't recommend 
 it, especially if you have little asterisk experience. (i'd say go for a 
 cluster).

 For codec I want to use g711 on the outgoing as it will only be over
 local lan and just about 2 meter away from the termination point (so
 almost 0 in loss) as for incoming I think g.729 or 723 maybe GSM. I know
 that the recoding take the most of the CPU power so perhaps I can do
 g.7xx codec all the way, that is a mather of test and see.
 
 No other cards in the box then LAN cards.
 
 On top of that I'll run voicemail, text to speech and music on hold.
 
 Any comments?

 Hello asterisk people!
 
 I have been running a test * server a P III box for some time now and 
 it's been rock stable.
 
 Now I'm looking to build a production system with as big capacity as 
 possible on 2 Xeon 3.6Ghz processors.
 
 I'm wondering what you are thinking about Supermicro 6014H-32 
 SuperServer with Dual 3.6Ghz Xeon processors and 2M casche each, 2 X 
 Gigabit LAN ports, 1Gb of RAM and about 80Gb of SATA HDD.
 
 For the OS I was thinking about Debian and the latest stable release 
 of Asterisk.
 
 I will be using IP to IP technology without any PRI cards only IP to

 
 IP.
  
 
 Clients will be using SIP and Aserisk will terminate on to H.323 or 
 possibly SIP
 
 How can I benchmark this thing (Aprox) without having to buy the

 
 server?
  
 
 Has any one had any experience of such server?
 
 Please comment.

[Asterisk-Users] Echo cancellation

2005-12-08 Thread Kristian Larsson
I am having problems with echo, first let me
explain my setup:

I have a Gateway box, which basically is an
Asterisk with a PRI card. It's only job is to
interface with 2 incoming ISDN PRI connections.
Then there are two other asterisk boxes to which
my users are registered.
Dialing from a phone it hits the first asterisk
which forwards it to the gateway box and then on
to the PSTN.

What are the general causes of echo?
When calling from my SIP phone I hear no echo but
the other end, the PSTN end, hears a lot of echo.
What could cause this?

  Kristian.

[Asterisk-Users] Complicated Dialing plan routing

2005-12-06 Thread Kristian Larsson
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.

Regards,
Kristian Larsson

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk + TDM04b trouble

2005-01-22 Thread Kristian larsson

I have a an Asterisk server running asterisk 1.0.3 and a TDM04b card.
I'm having a problem with my setup. Incoming and outgoing calls are working to
95%.
When the other party hangs up their phone after I've hang up mine it starts
ringing in my phone. example:
1. I get an incoming call
2. I answer and talk a bit
3. We say goodbye and I hang up the phone
4. The person at the other end hangs up his phone
5. My phone starts ringing again. If I pickup I only get a dial tone.

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.

Oh and what does the following mean:
Jan 22 00:49:46 NOTICE[10995]: indications.c:397
ast_unregister_indication_country: Removed default indication country 'se'

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco IP Phones

2005-01-22 Thread Kristian larsson
Cisco came up with PoE before the standard was set and so it differs.
The polarity is switched, so using a dumb power injector and a crossed cable
one could make it work anyway.

 Most if not all vendors that support PoE are not already support 802.3af
