Re: [asterisk-users] Doing weird bouncing of IAX trunk calls on purpose

2019-07-31 Thread Nick Olsen
Not to divert the thread from the original question. But have you
considered switching the trunk to SIP? It's highly personal preference. But
I haven't used IAX2 between asterisk boxes in years simply because of
weird™ issues. SIP being more widely accepted protocol from all points of
reference (Like router manufactures SIP ALG..etc).

Re: [asterisk-users] Doing weird bouncing of IAX trunk calls on purpose

Just had our IAX tunnels from the main server go bad again. Basically it thinks 
it can't reach them on the network anymore to register. IAX reload does nothing 
to help. Reloading/restarting asterisk service fixes it instantly. I notice a 
couple channels on the IAX tunnel are stuck on in "core show channels" and 
can't be hung up.

Any ideas? This just started a month or so ago when we started forwarding all 
calls as stated below. /shrug

Subject: [asterisk-users] Doing weird bouncing of IAX trunk calls on purpose

Ok, so this might seem weird, but hang with me on this. I have two sites, Indy 
and Lafayette that each have their own Asterisk server. They each have their 
own outside PRI line. They are also trunked internally via and IAX tunnel over 
a private fiber line.

I've recently been asked to have the calls incoming to Indy, forwarded to a 
group in Lafayette (only during the day, so can't be permanent) to answer the 
incoming calls. Well naturally, more of the calls are then attended 
forwarded/blind forwarded back down to the Indy server.

So we basically have a call coming into the Indy asterisk, being forwarded via 
IAX to Lafayette, answered, then forwarded back down to Indy.

Most of it seems to work fine, as you'd expect. I'm getting some grief from 
users saying there are weird things happening. My gut feeling, knowing the 
people involved, is that it's a user issue.

Does it keep all the connections open every which way, or can the Indy server 
be smart enough to just join the two channels and take Lafayette out of the 
loop?

Thanks!

Travis
