Re: [asterisk-users] 400 calls at g711 how much cpu power

2009-04-01 Thread Martin
Asterisk max call estimation doesn't scale linearly ... it might in the future
with some fixes they're adding.

For your application you could use some other open PBX that is known not to have
'Asterisk' limitations.

Anyways most people will tell you to simply buy a box and make a test.
Noone knows
the exact numbers since it's dependant on your kernel version/asterisk
version/CPU/motherboard/ethernet card/
memory speed/hdd speed etc.

Just make sure the "message" is encoded in G711 ulaw/alaw so there's
no transcoding... (use sox)

[asterisk-users] 400 calls at g711 how much cpu power

2009-04-01 Thread Erick Perez
We are planning to run an outbound only campaign. A 20-second voice message
will be played to callers and our dialer on machine1 will send to
machine2-asterisk (1.4) instructions to dial 400 calls, play the message and
hang up. This will be done for about 1 million phones.

The asterisk box will communicate via SIP to a voice carrier. the voice
carrier will then place the calls on pstn. The codec will be g711. So we
will never do any transcoding.

I have been calculating the CPU power required to do the calls and in
previous posting the usual calculation is about 40MHZ per leg when no
transcoding is involved.
So if we use the 40MHZ rule, we are talking about 40*400=16000MHZ or 1.6Ghz.

Comments?

[asterisk-users] SIP topology hiding

2009-04-01 Thread Martin
Dear All,

Is anyone having luck with using some code for SIP network topology
hiding + NAT traversal (SBC functionality) with Asterisk ?
I tried OpenSBC but it didn't do NAT from Asterisk to ATA correctly.
It's in plans for OpenSIPS but it's not implemented yet ... checked
their svn.

Re: [asterisk-users] Extract a MOS value from Asterisk CDR

2009-04-01 Thread John Todd

Thank you for the interesting links on MOS values and calculations!   
It seems that many (most?) of the values that are used to construct R  
and MOS could be obtained from the data that exists within the  
dialplan, at least as far as the visible RTP path is concerned.   Or  
is there data missing in the current RTCP statistics that would be  
required to make correct R/MOS value estimates?  (If so, then that's  
on-topic for asterisk-dev, otherwise this should be moved to asterisk- 
users...)

Here is the data that I think is already visible:

  - codec choices
  - round-trip delay to RTP endpoint
  - packet loss
  - jitter

I think it is too complex to determine "Irecency", "A" or packet loss  
bursts unless there is significant additional code added to Asterisk  
to capture more granular time-slices of data on each call.  I also  
think that mid-call codec changes should not be considered due to  
complexity.  Currently, I think this is un-necessary since most people  
don't even seem to compute MOS to start with.

So in your examination you may come up with a script or dialplan that  
creates a synthetic R or MOS value - could you post it to a blog, or  
if it is very short, to the asterisk-users mailing list?  I think this  
would be worthwhile.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Extract a MOS value from Asterisk CDR

Hello all,
I'm tring to retrieve a formula to calculate a MOS value from Asterisk RTCP 
stats...
Have you got any idea how to do it?
Thanks

I'm reading all G.107 ITU docs to retrieve something...

I'm saving the SIP RTCP stats with:

[macro-hangupcall]
exten => s,1,Set(CDR(userfield)=${CHANNEL(rtpqos|audio|all)})
exten => s,n,ResetCDR(vw)
exten => s,n,NoCDR()

So I retrieve these values in my MySQL CDR table in order to calculate a MOS

value: 
"ssrc=592614191;themssrc=0;lp=1;rxjitter=0.00;rxcount=0;txjitter=0.0
0;txcount=20734;rlp=0;rtt=0.094000"

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6.0.7 Now Available

2009-04-01 Thread Asterisk Development Team
The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the release of Asterisk
1.6.0.7. Asterisk 1.6.0.7 is available for immediate download at
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/

This release resolves an issue where IMAP voicemail message retrieval and
Message Waiting Indication (MWI) would not work properly with the same mailbox
name in multiple voicemail contexts. This release also fixes a couple of issues
with RFC2833 DTMF, and corrects an issue with compiling on CentOS 64-bit
platforms.

Also, this Asterisk release improves compatibility with T.38 switchovers
internally; fixes an issue with Asterisk using poll() on OSX systems when it
should not; allows chan_h323 to be built against both OpenH323 and H323Plus
libraries (while simplifying the build process); and improve behavior of
ast_answer() which was problematic for T.38 re-INVITES and other sorts of
channel operations. Additionally, other bugs have been resolved in this
release.

For a summary of the changes in this release, please see the release summary:

http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/tags/1.6.0.7/asterisk-1.6.0.7-summary.txt

For a full list of changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog:

http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/tags/1.6.0.7/ChangeLog

The following list of bugs were resolved with the participation of the
community, and this release would not have been possible without your help!

* Allow H.323 Plus library to be used in addition to the OpenH323 library
- Closes issue #11261. Submitted by vhatz. Patched by jthurman.

* Make the sip_standard_port function more granular by allowing separate type
and port arguments.
- Closes issue #12761. Reported and patched by asbestoshead.

* Cause astcanary to exit if Asterisk exits abnormally and doesn't kill
astcanary.
- Closes issue #14538. Reported and patched by KNK.

* Remove duplicate 'k' and 'K' Dial options.
- Closes issue #14601. Reported and patched by alecdavis.

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!

Yeah got it down to 1 bit that way.

 

exten byte1 => (dataflag=(${byte1}:bit1)?had-data:didn't-have-data))

 

If dataflag returns "had-data" recovering the data you call and parse an
external subroutine the same size and composition of the original data.

Otherwise no external routine is needed.

[asterisk-users] SIP Context Confusion

2009-04-01 Thread Anthony Plack
Okay, I am not understanding if I have this correct or not.

I have a requirement to allow guests into a PBX from different domains.  
However, I can not allow the guests into the default context because each 
domain has its own IVR.  So I end up setting the domain context.  I also need 
to provide separate contexts for different sip users (different dial groups).  
Small system, few users, so it doesn't make sense to create separate Asterisk 
boxes (cost wise and support) and some of the prompts are similar.  Same 
company, different micro departments and web domains.  Should need to either.

If I set the user context to "user1" and have set a domain context set to 
"guests1" in sip.conf, the system is ignoring the "user1" context.  An incoming 
call (from the code) will be force the context to "guests1" and not have the 
"user1".  I quote:

/* If we have a context defined, overwrite the original context */

For example, in sip.conf:

[general]
context=fromsip
domain=domain1.tld,guests1
domain=domain2.tld,guests2

[userA]
context=user1

It would seem to me, that if the context was NOT set in the SIP entry, and a 
domain context was available, only then would you replace the context.

To me, I would go from micro to macro definition and not jump around.  So we 
would have peer, domain, general in the SIP context hierarchy.  Instead we have 
domain, peer, general.

What am I missing about why this is setup this way (other than that is the way 
it has always been)?

Looking for some instruction here to wrap my head around this better.

As stands now, I believe I have to set all the phones up to a domain without a 
context to allow the local context to be used.  Is that correct?

DNS was the cause. Replacing the hostname with its IP address fixed it.

Hi Fred, just purchase an X100[p] clone on ebay. I bought one last year

Using Zaptel and OSLEC it is absolutely fine.

The hardware modems are usually half-duplex. If you use the hardware of 
winmodems directly, bypassing their normal drivers, you can get a good

Its straightforward to achieve, but nobody bothers. The Linux drivers 
for most winmodems have the DSP (which you don't need) as a binary blob, 
and the kernel driver (which you'll need to modify) as source code. As a 
modem they normally run at 9600 samples/second. Most of the chips can be 
programmed for 8000 samples/second, though, so they'll do what you need. 
Use them with OSLEC, and you could get great results. There are only a 
few suppliers of these winmodem chips - some USB and some PCI. You 
wouldn't need a lot of drivers to cover practically the whole market.

As I said. Its all possible. The necessary hardware info is mostly out 
there in downloadable source code. Its just that nobody has bothered.

Steve

I don't think a off the shelf modem has the necessary DSPs to convert
voice to codecthat is why a Voice Gateway/Analog Telephony Adapter
or FXO/FXS cards exist instead of modem having a second life.

You've lost me there.  I am not aware of a modem that is for sale today
that is half duplex. (OK some support a couple of minor half duplex
modes).  All state of the art modem protocols send and receive
simultaneously using the full 300 - 3000 Hz bandwidth in both directions

>Only a fraction of the hardware available is actually capable of full

Absolutely not the case.  Particularly the softmodems (the most
inexpensive) contain little else than what is required for placing and
answering full duplex audio calls.  Everything else is in the driver.
The OP is 100% correct, that they would be an excellent candidate for
FXO use in low volume applications.

Quite true.  This is the real issue.  As mentioned, these drivers
require considerable skill and knowledge to write.  While there is no
doubt that the result would be very cost effective, the business model
is lacking.  The modem manufacturer is going to see the potential market
for this as somewhere down in the noise compared to their normal modem
sales, so isn't inclined to invest.  A third party developer with the
skills would have a difficult time recouping development costs (let
alone any profit) because they don't control the hardware, and therefore
have no leverage.  A user with enough volume to justify paying for the
development (or doing it if they had the skill) probably has enough
volume to use T1s instead.  If everyone that could benefit from using a
modem card were to pitch in $10 towards the development, it would
probably be quite possible.  But how to make that happen?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk doesn't relay remote MOH during hold

2009-04-01 Thread Richard Brady
Hi Tony

I can see where you guys are coming from on this and have already
enumerated your argument in my own email.

But there are very real reasons for a PBX to signal the hold even when
it wants to send its own MOH:

1. Bandwidth: under your scheme the PBX would continue to receive
bandwidth-consuming media without using it.
2. Privacy: the far-end has an expectation of privacy while on hold
and should have the option to mute automatically when held.
3. Feature richness: signalling the hold enables such innovative
features such as reverse hold.
4. ISDN interworking: ISDN supports this and SIP should be compatible
with that (as per standard ITU-T Q.1912.5)

Also, can you explain why the PBX would use a=sendonly but not
dispatch media. Why not a=inactive for that case?

> IMHO, PBX-A would be broken if it passed this along the Hold message to 
> downstream and then started servicing the MOH itself

Remember it is not a hold message, it is a media attribute and we are
discussing how that should be interpreted within the context of the
hold feature in traditional telephony.

I would also like to point out in my defence that there are several
telephone systems in the field which behave as I described (Nortel
BCM50, Aastra Intelligate, Mitel 3300 to name a few).

Richard

Re: [asterisk-users] [Zaptel] Why no driver for PCI voice modems?

2009-04-01 Thread Wilton Helm
>If half-duplex audio is good enough for you, sure.

You've lost me there.  I am not aware of a modem that is for sale today that is 
half duplex. (OK some support a couple of minor half duplex modes).  All state 
of the art modem protocols send and receive simultaneously using the full 300 - 
3000 Hz bandwidth in both directions with adaptive equalization and echo 
cancellation to make it work, which is pretty much what a voice circuit need.  
There are two differences:  1) The response and quality of a current modem must 
be considerably higher than what is needed for voice use or it would never 
achieve the throughput expected of it, and 2) the adaptive equalization 
algorithm is designed around modem specific techniques.  The latter is 
(especially for a softmodem) a software issue, not a hardware limitation.

>Only a fraction of the hardware available is actually capable of full duplex 
>audio.


Absolutely not the case.  Particularly the softmodems (the most inexpensive) 
contain little else than what is required for placing and answering full duplex 
audio calls.  Everything else is in the driver.  The OP is 100% correct, that 
they would be an excellent candidate for FXO use in low volume applications.


>What it really comes down to is a value proposition: 

Quite true.  This is the real issue.  As mentioned, these drivers require 
considerable skill and knowledge to write.  While there is no doubt that the 
result would be very cost effective, the business model is lacking.  The modem 
manufacturer is going to see the potential market for this as somewhere down in 
the noise compared to their normal modem sales, so isn't inclined to invest.  A 
third party developer with the skills would have a difficult time recouping 
development costs (let alone any profit) because they don't control the 
hardware, and therefore have no leverage.  A user with enough volume to justify 
paying for the development (or doing it if they had the skill) probably has 
enough volume to use T1s instead.  If everyone that could benefit from using a 
modem card were to pitch in $10 towards the development, it would probably be 
quite possible.  But how to make that happen?

I believe that Asterisk by default unpackages/repackages the stream.  If you 
are looking for RTP pass-through, you are needing a RTP Proxy or SIP Reinvite 
and not Asterisk.

Look at kamailio.org and RTP Proxy with Asterisk as the VoiceMail/Media Server.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk doesn't relay remote MOH during hold

I have to agree with Kevin on this one.

I fail to understand how you have a PBX-A talking to Asterisk talking to PBX-B 
and the PBX-A placing the call on hold.  Typically you should have a 
Client/Phone to PBX-A to Asterisk to PBX-B to Client/Phone/VoiceMail.

If the Client signals Hold, the PBX should NOT be passing that Hold status on 
but transition audio stream from Client to MOH (assuming MOH is handled).  
Asterisk shouldn't notice a thing except more RTP packets (or less if it is my 
teenage daughter on the phone as the case may be).

IMHO, PBX-A would be broken if it passed this along the Hold message to 
downstream and then started servicing the MOH itself on the RTP stream.  That 
just doesn't make sense.

Now if PBX-A were not a PBX and were a SIP Router, and the SIP Router was 
attempting this, I can see how it would Re-Invite, but it shouldn't pass the 
hold status onto Asterisk.

Need some clarity here.

There were some later implementations of that idea. Here's a rather
efficient one:

I thought maybe it used Infinite Monkey Compression where a mathematic 
equation whose output over a specified domain would recreate the 
data-bits.  For those unfamiliar with Infinite Monkey Compression it was 
theorized by me a few years ago as an offshoot of Infinite Monkey 
Theorem (monkeys, typewriters Shakespeare, etc...).  The original theory 
was that is an infinite number of monkeys could eventually type the 
complete works of Shakespeare through random coincidence then a random 
bit generator running for an infinite amount of time would eventually 
produce the equivalent bit sequence of any particular piece of 
software.  Infinity being, well, rather infinite and humans being mortal 
and all, infinite runs on a RBG didn't seem like all that great of an 
option, so I kept thinking...  Then I realized that any file can be 
represented by a sequence of numbers.  All you have to do is find the 
equation that will output those number sequences and you've got a 
highly-compressed way to recreate any file.  Just send the equation give 
it a start and end value and let the computer save the output as a 
binary file.  Unfortunately I was never able to take IMC beyond the 
purely theoretical.

I am beginning to asterisk.
I have a sip trunk access to operator and VPN access with operator.
i booked 10 sda numbers.

IP adress asterisk : 192.168.600.1
IP adress operator : 192.168.700.50
i can ping on 192.168.700.50


 # cat sip.conf

2009-04-01 Thread Danny Nicholas
Here is a simple control for what you are asking:

Exten => s,1,noop(Dial Long Distance #)
exten => s,n,Set(LDACCESS=${DB(LD/Access)})
exten => s,n(readacct),Read(digitacc,record/entercode,8,skip,1,10])
exten => s,n,Gotoif($["${LEN(${digitacc})}" < "4"]?readacct)
exten => s,n,Gotoif($["${digitacc}" < "${LDACCESS}"]?readacct)
exten => s,n,Dial(Tech/1,ww1,60)

This reads the access code in from the Asterisk DB, plays a message for user
to enter it and dials once a matching entry is made.

You have to create the value in the Asterisk DB and record the message.

Hello
It's other end who is not aware if the call leg for that cancel, it is
happening when some provider missconfigured the load balancing stuff for
example, or call leg allready was destroyed for any reason.

You don't need to, if you read me previous email you'll notice I'm 
running 2.6.27.19. Rebuild DAHDI with the instructions I linked to and 
you'll get the echo module with DADHI. It requires you download 2.6.28 
but not that you are running 2.6.28.

[asterisk-users] Forking

2009-04-01 Thread hh174
Hello all,

Probably a bad news for all...

The Undercompetent Olle E Johansson decided to leave the asterisk team
to create his own Voip server.
The server will be called Minisk (due probably to his poor competence in
Voip).
Following that, Digium decides to stop any development on Asterisk and
joined the Skype team to recreate a brand new paying licensed software.
Any development will be halted for asterisk

It seems that Mr Johansson has was poisoned by a fish in Brussels during
the last Fosdem.

We all hope qur Mr Johansson will quickly heal and return to the team of
asterisk.

Kind regards,

Olivier Taylor

How does "use 20ms, because so many things are too broken to work with 
anything else" make it a standard? I thought the standard was an RFC 
that says any number of 10ms frames may go into a packet, but if there's 
a SID frame it has to be the last in the packet.

Re: [asterisk-users] What is the one thing that polycom can do...

2009-04-01 Thread randulo
Karl,

I echoed your comment about a one button hit exit anywhere in the
menu, that is so lame, although you can fake it by lifting the handset
or hitting menu twice.

I think a serious ergonomic study of the entire Polycom Soundpoint
menuing interface is needed. It appears that little thought was given
as to how it works. It actually looks like they tried to *guarantee*
at least two or more presses for every single thing you'll ever need
to do. Ok, I'm wrong: DND is a one button toggle. My bad!

Anyway, limiting the number of button presses ensures longer service
life of the product. Hmmm.

[asterisk-users] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NEW CHANNEL DRIVER FOR ASTERISK RELEASED TODAY

2009-04-01 Thread Olle E. Johansson
* NEW CHANNEL DRIVER FOR ASTERISK 1.6 AND VOXSWITCH 3 ADDS AUDIO AND  
VIDEO TO MICROBLOGGING!

In a surprising move, Digium in partnership with Edvina today released  
a new channel driver for Asterisk, chan_tweet. The driver connects  
seamlessly to several microblogging platforms, including Twitter,  
Facebook, Laconi.ca/Identi.ca and GSM text/SMS. The main feature of  
this new module is to add audio and video capabilities to  
microblogging, making the popular microblogging networks a new  
platform for VoIP and IP realtime communication.

- "I have seen that the microblogging solutions building on the social  
network infrastructure have had enourmous unexploited capabilities",  
says Mill Biller at Digium, "I've used it for a long time both  
personally and for the company and we realized early that by adding  
IAX2 support, we could now take these platforms one giant leap forward  
by adding realtime multimedia. I can now spend evenings chit-chatting  
in audio and HD-resolution video with all my audience around the world  
instead of sending short text messages. It's truly awsome!"

Digium contracted Edvina in Sweden, a well-known company in the  
Asterisk community and long-term Digium business partner, to build  
this solution. Edvina has many years of experience in building large- 
scale IAX2 networks, as well as doing development on the IAX2 support  
in Asterisk.

- "IAX2 recently was published in an IETF RFC and we're pushing it  
heavily in all VoIP forums." says Olle Johansson of Edvina, "We're  
hoping that the IAX2FORUM will get a lot of new members that are  
willing to adopt this technology for their intranets, microblogging  
services and VoIP infrastructures. In the coming month, we will  
present more information about new partners with more than 100K users  
that are going to switch from old technologies, like Hype, SIP and H. 
323. All of these protocols failed, either because they where  
proprietary or simply became too complex. SIP currently has more than  
5.000 pages of documents describing all the features of the protocol  
and there's no single implementation of all of these to test with.  
Considering the protocol being over 10 years old, this is a sad story."

- "We've done our best to fix the Asterisk SIP channel support for  
customers, but the customer base has been shrinking as more and more  
converted their networks to IAX2 and now, there's simply no one  
interested in us doing that work. We've stated over and over again  
that the SIP channel in Asterisk is broken and no one can prove us  
right or wrong, because the protocol is just too complex."

* The Microblogmedia platform
--
The Microblogmedia(TM) platform, developed by Digium and Edvina, let's  
users use any microblogging network to set up multimedia sessions. By  
compressing an IAX2 call setup event in the microblog message, web  
browsers and clients will connect automatically peer-2-peer if  
possible, or through the MicroBlogMediaRelay network that supports  
seamless NAT and firewall traversal by using automatic IPv6 tunnels.

Asterisk 1.6.3, released later this month, will support this feature  
in the IAX2, H.323 and maybe in the old SIP channel (that is now  
marked deprecated). There is work on adding this feature to ISDN  
calls, by using messages in the D-channel for tunneling the IAX2 call  
setup messages. Digium's VoxSwitch will support this feature in the  
next release, planned for q3 2009.

* Ending the Hype project
---
In the same press release, Sock Stevens, product manager at Digium  
finally acknowledged that the Hype channel driver that was launched at  
Astricon 2008 will not be released after all.
- "We found only one partner to test interoperability with, and that's  
not enough to make sure the channel driver being compatible with the  
protocol. And the protocol wasn't published in any RFC at all, or any  
other document. So we finally gave up. We're now dedicating resources  
for the new chan_tweet project and enhancing presence support in our  
IAX2 solution. With the installed base of IAX2 and the new  
MicroBlogMedia platform, this will be an even more impressive  
solution, reaching millions of IAX2 users in the enterprise as well as  
public sector and homes."

* Technichal factoids

- chan_tweet is the result of the project labelled "Codename  
orangepeel" amongst the development team and builds on the new  
"Pinemango" architecture. This is the first channel driver not  
connecting directly to the Asterisk core, but to the Pinemango API  
over Adversion, the Ruby framework developed by Phil Jaysip.
- The MicroBlogMediaRelay IAX2 platform is an open distributed network  
that builds on IPv6 and a facebook application, thus using the  
enormous bandwidth provided for free by the Facebook(TM) platform
- chan_tweet will be released with the core module in Open Source, but
