Re: [VoiceOps] Fax

2024-04-18 Thread Ross Tajvar via VoiceOps
If you must use SIP, try using T.38 (make sure your upstream provider
supports it). If for some reason you can't, use G.711 (and not any
compressed codec).

You could also replace your ATAs with something like this:
https://www.voipsupply.com/manufacturer/sangoma/sangoma-fax-station-applliances
which basically faxes to the local appliance, transmits it over the
internet with TCP, then faxes to the destination from the far end (skipping
any lossiness on your local internet connection). There are other products
that work the same way but I can't remember them right now.

For efax, a previous employer used this platform (because of the HIPAA
compliance): https://www.scrypt.com/
There's also just https://www.efax.com/
Twilio used to have a fax product, and when they retired it they suggested
a couple alternatives, including https://www.fax.plus/ and
https://www.mfax.io/.

They're all a little different, I would try them out, look at pricing etc.,
see what works for you.

Yes, true...but I don't really care about retail consumers or resellers. If
they are doing enough VoIP volume that they care about peering, they can go
through the regulatory process and get their own OCN.

Similarly, I wouldn't peer with a business that used an internet connection
but didn't have their own ASN/IPs. It's just not worth it for me. If they
have that kind of need, they can participate the same way the grown-ups do.

Re: [VoiceOps] Voice Peering

2023-10-24 Thread Ross Tajvar via VoiceOps
We need BGP for VoIP! Wait no that's worse... /s

Jokes aside, my understanding of the way people do VoIP routing for private
peer interconnection is by looking up the OCN at call time and routing on
that. That way you don't have to worry about verifying individual numbers,
or keeping routing/ownership information up to date, or a myriad of other
things.

I can think of a few ways that could be adapted into a platform more like
an Internet exchange, but as others have said, it just doesn't seem worth
it.

Re: [VoiceOps] SS7 Landscape

This sounds like a carrier with a lot of SIP peers, which is already a
thing that exists today. It also requires a lot of time and work to build,
because you need some traffic for the other side to justify the cost to
interconnect with you.

[VoiceOps] No-commit international calling

2023-07-13 Thread Ross Tajvar via VoiceOps
Hi all,

I have an asterisk PBX for personal/business use. I use Flowroute for both
origination and termination.

Recently I've started needing to make some international calls
(specifically mostly to the UK, but also some other places in Europe and
Australia). There've been a few numbers where completion is very
hit-or-miss, and a few that seem not to work at all (in both cases I get a
SIP 500 back from the carrier).

I'm wondering if this is a carrier issue - maybe Flowroute just has
low-quality routes to some destinations? I'd like to try other carriers,
and ideally keep a second one as a fallback, but I'm not sure who's out
there with no commit.

Looks like voip.ms is one option. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Ross

Re: [VoiceOps] Splitting voice and SMS

2022-08-17 Thread Ross Tajvar via VoiceOps
SMS routing is generally handled by NetNumber's routing database (the name
escapes me at the moment). NNIDs are the routing identifiers that they use
- perhaps they meant NNID vs SSID?

Twilio has a "hosted messaging" service, I think, which is where they
SMS-enable your number on their platform by changing the NNID to theirs
while leaving the voice-routing intact. But that process lead to a lot of
fraud across lots of carriers, so it's more restricted now.

Re: [VoiceOps] Comcast rejecting port requests for 4 months

2022-06-16 Thread Ross Tajvar
At Comcast, when you file an FCC complaint, it goes to these people (as of
a couple years ago, might be different people now):

William Landis | Engineer 3, Business Escalations
1415 West Diehl Road, Naperville, IL 60563
Office: (331) 814-3041
william_lan...@comcast.com

his boss:
Jeff Cox | Manager, Business Escalations
Operations
1415 West Diehl Road, Naperville, IL 60563
Office: (331) 401-5525
jeffery_...@comcast.com


They've been helpful to me in the past even without an FCC complaint, and
one time even without being a customer (I kept getting business
advertisements at my house). You could probably save some time by reaching
out to them directly.

As a sidenote, I've usually been able to request a CDR via the winning
carrier and then build the ports based on the info the losing carrier
provided. But it sounds like you're past those kinds of efforts at this
point.

Best of luck,
Ross

 I understand. Serious customers will pay for a PNI. Industry partners
(other large telcos with whom they exchange a lot of traffic) will get a
PNI because it is more reliable/higher bandwidth/etc. An IX presence may
help customers who send voice traffic over the internet, but I suspect
those customers make up a small percentage of any given telco's revenue.
So, there's no incentive. Same reason NTT/Telia/Lumen/etc. won't peer with
you over an IX. Why would they, when they can sell you transit?

I've used 2600hz and found it immature. Lots of bugs and design issues.
When it worked it was nice, but when it didn't work you were out of luck.
Support wasn't very good either. This was about a year ago - maybe it's
better now.

[VoiceOps] Voice peering

2021-01-05 Thread Ross Tajvar
Based on this presentation [0] from Comcast, they are interconnecting with
their biggest voice peers via SIP rather than SS7. They appear to use ENUM
for route selection. I'm sure others are doing this too, though I can't
find anything public.

I'm interested if anyone has more info on how this works. I'm guessing
participants maintain their own private ENUM servers and just trust each
other? As far as I know the only way to validate number ownership is via an
LNP dip, which would be expensive to do for every call.

I would like to be able to consume a service like that, at least in an
outbound direction; as a small operator, I'm sure convincing large carriers
to trust my ENUM server would be very difficult. But having a greater
degree of interconnectedness (and mostly importantly avoiding TDM) seems
like a good thing.

Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?

Ross

Re: [VoiceOps] Question about SS7 routing

I see, that makes sense. So then I have two follow-up questions:

   1. If you are connected to multiple carriers, e.g. multiple long
   distance carriers, how do you populate your routing table? (Obviously "it
   depends" but I'd be interested to hear an example.)
   2. If you are setting up equipment for the first time, with a new number
   block, how do you make sure other people include you/your block in their
   routing tables?

[VoiceOps] Question about SS7 routing

2020-09-02 Thread Ross Tajvar
Hi all,

I'm trying to understand how routing works in SS7-land. I am familiar with
portability, and I know (at least in the US) the first step in routing a
call is doing an LNP dip to get the LRN.

However, it looks like addresses in MTP3 are "point codes" (PCs) which are
assigned to switches. Calls are set up with ISDN-UP, which is transported
via MTP3. So in order for a call to be set up, the destination switch's PC
must be known. How is the destination PC determined from the destination
LRN?

I've done the same thing with Bandwidth before. A capable porting team
makes a big difference.

Re: [VoiceOps] Outages - T-Mobile?

"The trigger event is known to be a leased fiber circuit failure from a
third party provider in the Southeast."

Wonder who the carrier is?

They have some poor redundancy if one circuit failure caused a national
outage.

Thanks everyone for the referral! Unfortunately, my interest is academic
rather than commercial, so I was hoping for a written resource since I
don't have a budget to hire a consultant. My background is in the MSP/ISP

[VoiceOps] PSTN Info

2020-02-25 Thread Ross Tajvar
Hi all,

I am looking for some resources to help me understand how to interact with
the PSTN more directly. I have worked for companies which offered VoIP
service, but we've always used other carriers upstream (e.g. Bandwidth,
Flowroute, etc.). I've found a few references to the regulatory process
(e.g. https://transnexus.com/whitepapers/how-to-get-an-lrn/). What I'm
looking for is a technical description of the equipment required and how it
works.

Does anyone know of any good references for this kind of information?

Thanks,
Ross
