[asterisk-users] RDNIS and IAX2

2006-07-25 Thread Douglas Garstang
I'll probably get blasted for this. I hope I'm wrong, and then a little 
blasting is ok. It appears that Asterisk may have let us down again as a 
'carrier grade' solution.

1. User A calls User B. The call is bridged.
2. User B wants to transfer User A to user C. When this happens, User B's phone 
sends a new call to Asterisk with RDNIS info contained in the SIP INVITE header.
3. However, user C isn't registered on the local system, so we do a DUNDi 
lookup to get an IAX2 path to the location of user C
4. We then connect to this DUNDi supplied IAX path so that we can dial user C, 
who is registered on a different Asterisk system.

It appears from this link that the Asterisk RDNIS implementation is completely 
broken. 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/RDNIS

Most importantly, RDNIS info is not passed along the IAX channel when the call 
is trunked to the Asterisk system where User C is registered. This makes it 
impossible to tell that this was a transferred call, and I'll spare the details 
right now as to why this breaks a whole lot of other things that we are trying 
to implement (like resetting the caller id to the original caller and so on).

Did the list software screw up, or did you post this exact same mail 
yesterday?
