Re: [asterisk-users] Being attacked by an Amazon EC2 ...

2010-04-21 Thread Randy R
Amazon is pretty clever! Ever seen V on TV?

Amazon talks a pretty good game out of one side of their PR
mouthpiece, but as a few of you note above, they abuse words like
quickly and temper everything with when Amazon determines.

This is a PR damage control statement. It means they are hearing the
shots fired by irate server operators/owners and I say you should keep
that pressure on until you actually see them acting QUICKLY and not
dicking you around, asking you to resubmit reports, etc.

I know some of you whose servers have been attacked. I know that you
are extremely capable network admins, programmers, VoIP engineers,
etc, which means your reports are technically at the same level or
higher than the people at Amazon that receive them.

Conclusion: Amazon is still dancing, start shooting higher then their feet.

Re: [asterisk-users] Calls drop after 20 seconds

2010-04-21 Thread Ishfaq Malik
I've had this same problem at times and never found a satisfactory 
explanation or resolution for it but here's a couple of things you can try.

Upgrade phones to latest/most stable firmware
Upgrade routers to latest/most stable firmware

Both these actions have worked for us at one time or another.

Check out the early dial feature in the Grandstream products (if you enabled

Hi,

How do you dial the users? direct with the peername or something like 
ex...@ipofpeer ?

i know this problem when dialing a patton ISDN ata without an extension. 
The call is established but when the T1 sip timeout fires the call gets 
disconnected. Maybe you could do some sip debugging and watch for resend 
sip messages.

Like the poster below said, do a sip debug on a call and see which end sends
the bye message or ends the call and go from there.  That should give you
some sort of clue as to who is having a timer issue.

2010-04-21 Thread David Backeberg
I didn't know there was an RPM for centos with asterisk in it.

I personally think that's a bad idea. There are a lot of source options.

app_fax.so in particular depends on SpanDSP, and particular versions thereof.

That's probably why it's missing from somebody's RPM.

Build from source.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk choking on voice messages announcements

2010-04-21 Thread bruce bruce
Hi Everyone,

I have a weired situation where calls in and out are proceessed all right
but when I dial *97 Asterisk is literally choking when it comes to
announcements like Password or Call from 205-456-. Each one of those
announcements can take like 10+ seconds to finish with most of it not even
compoundable.

I run top and there is no heavy load on CPU or RAM. I dial out and it's
all fine.

Can you please give me some pointers as to where to look for the problem?

Also, if I allow a call to go to voice-mail on my extension, the
announcement, The person at extension 4000 is not available is also
garbled and very slow like a choking sound. This is serious because people
think they are have reached a faulty answering machine or just cut off
because there is a long instance of silence sometime.

Thanks

[asterisk-users] Improving audio bitrate for all callers in a conference room for a podcast

2010-04-21 Thread Patrick Davila
Hello,
As a podcaster I use Asterisk extensively and often have several people in
a conference room. We'll record the calls via a SIP phone connected to a
sound mixer. Is there an easy way to bump up the audio bitrate for all
callers connected to the Asterisk server and improve the general sound
quality? The server is not used much outside of recording the podcast.
We're not opposed to compiling Asterisk ourselves to get the results we'd
like.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Re: [asterisk-users] Improving audio bitrate for all callers in aconference room for a podcast

2010-04-21 Thread Jeff Brower
Pat-

 As a podcaster I use Asterisk extensively and often have several people in
 a conference room. We'll record the calls via a SIP phone connected to a
 sound mixer. Is there an easy way to bump up the audio bitrate for all
 callers connected to the Asterisk server and improve the general sound
 quality? The server is not used much outside of recording the podcast.
 We're not opposed to compiling Asterisk ourselves to get the results we'd
 like.

Let me understand first:  the SIP phone doing the recording is not one of the 
people on the conference?  It's in
monitor mode, for recording purposes only?

If that's the case, then you can't achieve audio quality higher than the 
individual conference node channels
themselves -- sort of a 'lowest common denominator' situation.  If you could 
get all nodes using a wideband codec (say
G722), and if Asterisk supports wideband mixing and recording (i.e. everything 
done at 16 kHz sampling rate), then you
might be able to do it.

Jeff,
So the first thing to improve audio quality is to switch over to a higher
quality codec like G722. What are the other higher quality codecs we can
use? Everyone connecting should make sure they're using the higher quality
codec? Is there any way to configure a stock Asterisk install to use
wideband mixing or will we have to compile our own?

Then use a timing source if the version is correct (1.6.1 or 2), or install
dahdi-dummy, which can
be quite some amount of work

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk choking on voice messages announcements

2010-04-21 Thread Ryan Bullock
So I be it sounds like all the recordings are underwater.

Are you using dahdi for timing? Can you run dahdi_test?

Asterisk needs a good timing source, in the case when you don't have a
physical card providing it, it relies on kernel ticks or the RTC (or HPET).
Because of the nature of virtual machines they don't always get access to
the processor when they want and therefore their timing can get skewed and
can be bad for real-time applications.

There are some patches/work-arounds that you can do. You might want to
google 'asterisk in a virtual machine' or 'asterisk timing virutal machine',
or anything along those lines.

I think I remember in some of the recent dahdi or asterisk release notes
that they changed some settings to be more virtual machine friendly. So
maybe make sure you are running the latest versions?

I found this link:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+codecs

So every client that connects to the conference would have to be
configured to use whatever codec we wind up using.

 Dial() options don't have any relationship to registration failures --
 they happen at different times.

 Registration failures may cause dial() failures.

 I don't understand the relationship between ringing, transfer and
 recording options and dial() returning congestion. I'd suggest
 investigating exactly which combination is causing congestion before
 concluding it is unrelated to the registration failure.

 There was a big change in the way the ast_safe_system() API call (used

 it's possible you are seeing a side effect of this change. If you'd like
 to experiment, open up main/app.c (in 1.6.2), search for the

 the behavior, we've found the culprit, and you can open an issue on
 issues.asterisk.org so this can be investigated.

 On further review, I'm having other problems with this machine. I need
 more data points before I point the finger at asterisk, as it seems
 that the other 1.6.2.6 machine was fine.


I now have another system as a datapoint. This is a second CentOS
system, and it's having the same weird lag problem when calling
System().

I'm going to try Kevin's proposal. This new system is a very beefy,
new i7 multi-cpu, multi-core, boatloads of ram box, and there's no
good explanation for lag on this idle system. Will report results
soon.

Another possibility might be G711.1.

 Everyone connecting should make sure they're using the higher quality

Yes.  If a few don't and a few do then you would have a couple of issues:

  -transcoding has to take place prior to mixing, so
   whatever SIP software you're using has to correctly
   handle negotiation and call setup and one of the
   software components in your setup has to do actual
   transcoding work on RTP (voice data) packets.  Are
   you using Asterisk for the conferencing function?
   Or only recording?  If the latter then who/what
   does the conferencing (mixing) ?

  -if you were to use Asterisk for transcoding, I'm
   not sure how Asterisk would handle that.  It
   could downsample the wideband nodes, then you get
   no audio quality improvement , or it could upsample
   the G711 (or other nodes) and your recording would
   sound better when the wideband nodes are talking

 Is there any way to configure a stock Asterisk install to use
 wideband mixing or will we have to compile our own?

Not sure!

 I am running Asterisk 1.6.2 and multiple Polycom phones all with 3.2.3 (the 
 latest) firmware on them.

 I am having an issue with my 550's and my 6000's (but oddly enough, not my 
 320's).  Whenever a number is dialed on hook, and then the speakerphone 
 button is pressed, the number is dialed twice.  If the handset is picked up, 
 or the Dial softkey is pressed, the call is only sent once.  This leads me 
 to believe it is a phone issue, not a * config issue, but I have no way of 
 telling.

 I can verify that there are two call started via the snippet below:

SNIP

 The first hangup was triggered right away (without me doing anything), the 
 second hangup was me actually hanging up the calling phone.

 It does the same thing if I dial an outside line.

 Any idea where to start trying to solve this?  Has anyone else seen it, and 
 can point me to the fix that I could not find with Google?

 Thanks.



I would recommend that you enable debugging on the peer only and check 
to see if you see two invites come from the phone.  Two invites with 
different call ID's would indicate it is indeed the phone making two 
calls.  One would indicate that it MAY be an Asterisk issue.

Are you using the latest Polycom firmware, btw?

 I have searched everywhere, but cannot seem to find anyone else talking about 
 this issue.  Maybe I am just using the wrong search terms.

 I am running Asterisk 1.6.2 and multiple Polycom phones all with 3.2.3 (the 
 latest) firmware on them.

 I am having an issue with my 550's and my 6000's (but oddly enough, not my 
 320's).  Whenever a number is dialed on hook, and then the speakerphone 
 button is pressed, the number is dialed twice.  If the handset is picked up, 
 or the Dial softkey is pressed, the call is only sent once.  This leads me 
 to believe it is a phone issue, not a * config issue, but I have no way of 
 telling.

 I can verify that there are two call started via the snippet below:

SNIP

 The first hangup was triggered right away (without me doing anything), the 
 second hangup was me actually hanging up the calling phone.

 It does the same thing if I dial an outside line.

 Any idea where to start trying to solve this?  Has anyone else seen it, and 
 can point me to the fix that I could not find with Google?

 Thanks.



I would recommend that you enable debugging on the peer only and check 
to see if you see two invites come from the phone.  Two invites with 
different call ID's would indicate it is indeed the phone making two 
calls.  One would indicate that it MAY be an Asterisk issue.

Are you using the latest Polycom firmware, btw?

This is expected behavior for SIP communications.  I see this all the time
when an end point is registering with Asterisk.  I think in those cases,
however, it's a REGISTER request, not an INVITE.  How is your sip.conf
configured for these end points?

Do you have any phones other than the ones experiencing this problem that
you can test with?

Yes this is expected behavior on a REGISTER.  I didn't think that it was 
correct on an INVITE, however on reading RFC 3261, I believe that 
Asterisk is correctly responding to the request, needing credentials 
from the UA (Polycom).



My Ekiga softphone is doing the exact same thing, however it's not 
creating the same 2 call issue that your Polycoms are having.  The 
Ekiga call setup is not including credentials on the first INVITE, 
receives a 401 not authorized, and sends another INVITE with 
credentials, and receives a 100 TRYING from Asterisk.


This is most likely an issue with the firmware on the Polycom.  Bottom 
line is that another UA is doing the same thing, the call is setup 
properly, and it appears to work.


I respectfully request that someone smarter than me take a look at this 
and verify my conclusions, or correct me accordingly.


Thanks.

According to RFC 3261 (note that the RFC uses the word request instead 
of register or registration request):


... If a 401 (Unauthorized) or 407 (Proxy Authentication Required)
response is received, the UAC SHOULD follow the authorization
procedures of Section 22.2 and Section 22.3 to retry the request with
credentials. ...


Read more: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3261.html#ixzz0llyASXyI

 ...

22.2 User-to-User Authentication

   When a UAS receives a request from a UAC, the UAS MAY authenticate
   the originator before the request is processed.  If no credentials
   (in the Authorization header field) are provided in the request, the
   UAS can challenge the originator to provide credentials by rejecting
   the request with a 401 (Unauthorized) status code.

   The WWW-Authenticate response-header field MUST be included in 401
   (Unauthorized) response messages.  The field value consists of at
   least one challenge that indicates the authentication scheme(s) and
   parameters applicable to the realm.

   An example of the WWW-Authenticate header field in a 401 challenge
   is:

  WWW-Authenticate: Digest
  realm=biloxi.com,
  qop=auth,auth-int,
  nonce=dcd98b7102dd2f0e8b11d0f600bfb0c093,
  opaque=5ccc069c403ebaf9f0171e9517f40e41

   When the originating UAC receives the 401 (Unauthorized), it SHOULD,
   if it is able, re-originate the request with the proper credentials.
   The UAC may require input from the originating user before
   proceeding.  Once authentication credentials have been supplied
   (either directly by the user, or discovered in an internal keyring),
   UAs SHOULD cache the credentials for a given value of the To header
   field and realm and attempt to re-use these values on the next
   request for that destination.  UAs MAY cache credentials in any way
   they would like.

   If no credentials for a realm can be located, UACs MAY attempt to
   retry the request with a username of anonymous and no password (a
   password of ).

   Once credentials have been located, any UA that wishes to
   authenticate itself with a UAS or registrar -- usually, but not
   necessarily, after receiving a 401 (Unauthorized) response -- MAY do
   so by including an Authorization header field with the request.  The
   Authorization field value consists of credentials containing the
   authentication information of the UA for the realm of the resource
   being requested as well as parameters required in support of
   authentication and replay protection.

[asterisk-users] Time difference in CSV CDR's and MySQL CDR's

2010-04-21 Thread Alejandro Recarey
Hi all,

I am having a curious problem. I use two cdr backends, csv and MySQL.
These are my settings:

Call Detail Record (CDR) settings
--
  Logging:Enabled
  Mode:   Batch
  Log unanswered calls:   Yes

* Batch Mode Settings
  ---
  Safe shutdown:  Enabled
  Threading model:Scheduler plus separate threads
  Current batch size: 0 records
  Maximum batch size: 25 records
  Maximum batch time: 10 seconds
  Next batch processing time: 7 seconds

* Registered Backends
  ---
csv
mysql
cdr-custom


I am finding that the calldate field varies between 3 seconds and 3
minutes between the MySQL database and the CSV files! Is this expected
behaviour? I thought they should both use the same timestamp. Is is
very difficult to match CDR's this way, and I am finding it hard to
trust the results, as I wanted to make sure that my database was
behaving correctly and not losing any CDR's along the way.

Which one of the two CDR's is correct?

Should this be posted as a bug?

Regards,

Alex

 You could set an inherited channel variable as the first thing you do before

Ok.  I got that working now.  The only inconvenience is that I cannot
use the h extension to rename and move the wav file to its final
destination but I am getting around that by running a cron job.  Thank
you very much.

Another question if I may, with variable inheritance is it possible to
do something like: Set(__CDR(userfield)=${INITIALCID})?  That way I can
follow the call no matter where it is transferred to by having the
original outside callerid in the userfield.

I'm not sure if it would work like that. I've never tried.

Based on my experiences with CDR's though, I don't think it'll work the way you 
expect it to :)

All you can do is give it a shot and see if it works in your situation.

 Asterisk needs a good timing source, in the case when you don't have a
 physical card providing it, it relies on kernel ticks or the RTC (or HPET).
 Because of the nature of virtual machines they don't always get access to
 the processor when they want and therefore their timing can get skewed and
 can be bad for real-time applications.

 There are some patches/work-arounds that you can do. You might want to
 google 'asterisk in a virtual machine' or 'asterisk timing virutal machine',
 or anything along those lines.

 I think I remember in some of the recent dahdi or asterisk release notes
 that they changed some settings to be more virtual machine friendly. So
 maybe make sure you are running the latest versions?

 Check out the early dial feature in the Grandstream products (if you 
 enabled it)
 and play with the pedantic option.

thanks, already made sure I use pedantic=no and earlydial is off in my GW

 Peder
 Like the poster below said, do a sip debug on a call and see which end sends
 the bye message or ends the call and go from there.  That should give you
 some sort of clue as to who is having a timer issue.

That is my next step, its just so hard to reproduce while debugging!


 Stefan
 How do you dial the users? direct with the peername or something like
 ex...@ipofpeer ?

 i know this problem when dialing a patton ISDN ata without an extension.
 The call is established but when the T1 sip timeout fires the call gets
 disconnected. Maybe you could do some sip debugging and watch for resend
 sip messages.

I don't understand, all of my calls are inbound and terminated with
different voip carriers, so I am not sure how that will work. I always
dial d...@ipofcarrier. Will debug!

 Upgrade phones to latest/most stable firmware
 Upgrade routers to latest/most stable firmware

source.  I believe that is the issue.  What is this running on?

 Are you using dahdi for timing? Can you run dahdi_test?

  Asterisk needs a good timing source, in the case when you don't have a
 physical card providing it, it relies on kernel ticks or the RTC (or HPET).
 Because of the nature of virtual machines they don't always get access to
 the processor when they want and therefore their timing can get skewed and
 can be bad for real-time applications.

Only that your timing source sucks.  You need 99.9% or higher if you
want a stable system.  I have servers with dahdi_dummy that never go
below 99.7% accuracy.  You really need to check your timing source.

[asterisk-users] ${HANGUPCAUSE} is always 0 in the h extension

2010-04-21 Thread Alejandro Recarey
Hi all,

I am using cdr_adaptive_odbc and it works fine. I am trying to save
the q931 hangupcause to a cdr record. My diaplan looks like this.


exten = _X.,1,Dial(${EXTEN})

exten = h,1,Set(CDR(q931)=${HANGUPCAUSE})
exten = h,2,Verbose(${HANGUPCAUSE})

However, as I can see by the verbose command, ${HANGUPCAUSE} is always
0. I thought it was a channel variable that contained the hangupcause?

How can I set this up to correctly save the hangupcause??

Thank you for your help

Regards,

Alex

 How can I find out what the source of the problem is guys?

 As I said I didn't change anything, except for making few minor changes to
 the firewall today and that was at Amazon firewall level and not within
 CentOS.

 P.S. there is only few calls load at anytime on this server.

Does Amazon cloud services guarantee you some level of performance?  Do they 
say that if you run top you will get a
100% accurate view of compute resource usage?  Your program is running on a 
particular server in that cloud... it
would seem to me that something might be slowing that server down, and if so 
it's not easy to debug because you can't
physically touch the server.  For example it could be interesting to disconnect 
the server's network cable and run
dahdi_test again, but you can't do that remotely.

Maybe there is a simple timing measurement utility that you can run, and then 
show the results to Amazon, and then
ask them to fix so results are acceptable.  Something basic, less complex than 
Asterisk that Amazon tech support would
agree yes if that doesn't work then it must be our problem.

 We're close to that now, and that's one of the reasons that the soft
 hangup command was changed to channel request hangup.  While it's not
 verb noun, most (if not all) of the commands in the Asterisk CLI
 should follow the module verb noun model.
 
 Having to know which module implements a command is an obstacle.
 
 Being the 1.2 Luddite that I am, I'll withhold further criticism until I 
 play with 1.6 a bit.
 
 An apropos command would be a nice addition.
 
This is a great idea. At least help hangup should show any commands 
that include hangup and their description. Now:

asterisk*CLI help hangup
 hangup request no description available


So you need to know what's the answer before you can see it:

asterisk*CLI help channel request hangup
Usage: channel request hangup channel
Request that a channel be hung up. The hangup takes effect
the next time the driver reads or writes from the channel

[asterisk-users] Security tests

2010-04-21 Thread Daniel Bareiro
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all!

In the network of my house I was testing the security with my Asterisk
installation. The first test that I'm doing is an man in the middle
attack.

In this scenary, the attacker is a virtual machine that it tries to see
the SIP traffic between a PC with a softphone and a Grandstream BT200
telephone.

But it draws attention to me between the PC with softphone and the
telephone I see traffic ARP or ICMP that could make to try between the
equipment but does not see RTP. Is there some special consideration that
it must to observe? I am doing it to the capture with:

# tcpdump -i eth0 -n host 10.1.0.65 -w dump


where 10.1.0.65 is the PC with softphone.


Thanks in advance for your reply.

Well I'm certainly not the one who could code it, but is there any way 
to simply grep all the help. So, for instance, if you did help 
hangup you got:

hangup request no description available

which you now get,

followed by all the commands that have hangup in them, including their 
descriptions. For instance:

But see:
channel request hangup channel
 Request that a channel be hung up. The hangup takes effect
 the next time the driver reads or writes from the channel
etc
etc

Hi,

Maybe you could do something in shellscript too:

e.g.
asterisk -rx help | grep -ia something

That would behave just as describe in the suggestion (but it's easier to 
do :P)

You could place that in a  tiny shellscript, that takes the 'something' 
as an argument:

#!/bin/bash
token=$1
asterisk -rx help | grep -ia ${token}

Save that with the name of your preference (somewhere inside your $PATH, 
would be nice), and just execute it like a normal command:

[name_you_gave_it] sip
[name_you_gave_it] peer
[name_you_gave_it] whatever


Note:
You then could make a lot of fancy customizations to parameters of your 
script, etc., and even use other tools for if needed (e.g. gawk, sed, etc.)

Re: [asterisk-users] ${HANGUPCAUSE} is always 0 in the h extension

2010-04-21 Thread Alejandro Recarey
 However, as I can see by the verbose command, ${HANGUPCAUSE} is always
 0. I thought it was a channel variable that contained the hangupcause?

Just an update, if the call is established, then there is a
hangupcause received.

The above problem only happens if the caller hangs up before pickup.

This is usualy a cause 16, not 0.

Alex

Maybe you could correlate the fluctuations in your timing source with the 
attacks on Randy and Fred's systems.

 How can I find out what the source of the problem is guys?

 As I said I didn't change anything, except for making few minor changes to
 the firewall today and that was at Amazon firewall level and not within
 CentOS.

 What causes these bad dahdi_test values?

 P.S. there is only few calls load at anytime on this server.


Here are few ideas:

1. I have seen complaints that as Amazon loads up its virtual machines, that
neighboring VM's running on the same hardware are sucking up CPU cycles and
reducing the performance of the other VM's on board. One guy was complaining
that to get the same performance he got a few months ago, he has to move to
a more powerful machine, which costs more . You might move up to a more
expensive, faster VM and see if it helps.

2. I don't know exactly how Dahdi gets its timing, but I do know that it has
two methods; one involves HIGH RES TIMERS compiled into the kernel. The
other when the high-res stuff isn't included. You can decompress
/proc/config.gz into a local file and look for HIGHRES to be defined. If it
isn't you might try to find a kernel with it defined, and see if it helps.

3. If you are on 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 (too tired to look up which), you could try
using another method of generating timing than dahdi_dummy. I suspect that
they may just reflect code already in Dahdi_dummy... but this seems like
something you might want to become knowledgeable about!

  What can one tell from these?
 
 Only that your timing source sucks.  You need 99.9% or higher if
 you
 want a stable system.  I have servers with dahdi_dummy that never go
 below 99.7% accuracy.  You really need to check your timing source.

Re: [asterisk-users] Calls drop after 20 seconds

 How do you dial the users? direct with the peername or something like
 ex...@ipofpeer ?

 i know this problem when dialing a patton ISDN ata without an extension.
 The call is established but when the T1 sip timeout fires the call gets
 disconnected. Maybe you could do some sip debugging and watch for resend
 sip messages.
 

 I don't understand, all of my calls are inbound and terminated with
 different voip carriers, so I am not sure how that will work. I always
 dial d...@ipofcarrier. Will debug!
   
what i mean is that the problem what i have was when i dial no exten 
directly via the IP of the patton.

which looks like this: Dial(SIP/@123.123.123.123,120)
when this happens the T1 Timeout ends the call after 30 seconds.
this only happens on inbound calls to the customers, not outbound to a 
carrier.


best regards.
