Much easier to reach digium by using the Demo that is/was installed in all asterisk installs. When the voice prompt indicates its connecting to a demonstation server at digium, it is a real * server that can connect you to tech support, etc, etc. Try it. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Yeah, saw that, and it had said that for like six months if I recall.

[Asterisk-Users] IAXtel update!
Hello Everyone! Over this weekend, we have updated IAXtel. Before the update, it was running at almost 100% cpu load at an idle state because of the massive amount of database transactions. We enabled realtime caching and the box immediately crashed. We were able to expose a serious bug related to realtime caching in chan_iax2. Kevin Fleming was able to fix this issue, and also added some experimental code to further enhance performace. As I write this message, Asterisk is using about 4 percent CPU load on IAXtel. We are hoping that it will become usable again.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAXTEL is dead/dying?
As someone that's just recently setup an * server I agree. I thought about setting up an Iaxtel account as well but couldn't see the point in it because I had setup FWD for testing. I continue to use FWD for all my toll free calls and the quality is just awesome. I can't see how Iaxtel would provide any additional benefit. Perhaps the time for Iaxtel has come and gone. There are plenty of IAX2 providers these days, * has become quite popular, so the need for a separate telecom network doesn't make a whole lot of sense; not that FWD isn't separate, it's just more popular IMHO. -mark On Jan 21, 2005, at 6:12 PM, Michael Graves wrote: Yeah, FWD has been pretty good about their beta of the IAX2 support.

I didn't happen to see that message you sent before, but even if I did, I was probably too busy to reply :) Anyways, I used to use IAXTEL with great success.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAXTEL is dead/dying?
Mark had made a post recently (last week or so maybe) -- could have been in IRC too... (it starts to blur together) that he was aware of the IAXTEL problems and that they were working on the issues.

[Asterisk-Users] IAXTEL is dead/dying?
I didn't get any response at all to my last "request for status" on IAXTEL. So, when this happens, I attribute it to one of a number of things: 1. No-one knows. 2. No-one cares. 3. Everyone knows, but are too busy to reply. At any rate, my investigative side kicks in and I began searching thru the digest's I've gotten, looking for references to IAXTEL. Mostly it is mentioned in snippets of extensions.conf files submitted, or in people's sigs, but I've copy/pasted below a few relevant snippets I've spotted on this mailing list going backwards in time... Based on what I see, just before and at christmas, I don't see complaints, and people are suggesting to use it. But, after Christmas, the tone changes, and people are now advising against using IAXTEL. So, is there anybody out there at Digium, who can give the party line as to what the status of IAXTEL is, and if this is temporary? It might be best to make an announcement, as I'm sure folks will be scratching their heads and asking on the list what they are doing wrong when they can't fire up their IAXTEL connection. The impression I have at the moment is that IAXTEL is overloaded and can't keep up with registration traffic, let alone phone call bandwidth. Maybe it's just me and I've got a lousy internet path to it. But FWD is working very well, I just got my first call (besides me testing it) today! And sound quality was fine. I was looking forward to boasting my cool 1-700 number, but it looks not to be... And, lest anyone mistake this post as derogatory against IAXTEL, let me clearly state that I appreciate the efforts of Digium, and VoicePulse, to provide this free service, and also acknowledge the obvious benefits the entire asterisk community has reaped from its existence! murf --- >From: ...

I'm trying to run some inbound test to my Asterisk box using Telesthetic's gateway in MI to my GNU/IAXtel account. Am I missing something? I set up my user account on the GNUPhonne site, configured Asterisk to talk to IAXTel. * registers fine. In fact I can make calls to other test users. I haven't tried having someone call my number. When I call into Telesthetic's exchange it answers, tells me "transferring to VOIP", I enter my number 1-700-, 1 second later I'm back at the VOIP prompt. If I leave of the 700 I get a response stating the user is offline.

There a fundamental expectation that the sending side is correctly stamping each frame - 20msec, 40msec etc etc. The problem is that the sending side doesn't always do that. Sometimes for one reason or another the stamps "jump". The receiver has no way of telling that the sender mangled the timestamps, and assumes that the packets with the new stamps have been delayed, or arrived early, or whatever. Either way, the jitter buffer does its thing and unknowingly makes things worse. Unfortunately, this is why you can still be better off without it - but the problem really needs to be fixed by fixing the timestamp generation on the sender.

The result is that sometimes the source of the timestamps changes - and suddenly. Like - we're playing locally generated "Playback()" audio down the line, then the dialplan rings another IAX2/ address. Then the other end answers. First the timestamps come from the Playback, then the ring generator, then from the remote IAX2/ system... So the discontinuities get in. There is also effort in the sending IAX2code to lock the timestamps to exact intervals (20msec), but sometimes it gives up and lets it jump to get back into step...

The jitter buffer makes all its decisions about dejittering based on the timestamps of incoming frames. There a fundamental expectation that the sending side is correctly stamping each frame - 20msec, 40msec etc etc. The problem is that the sending side doesn't always do that.

I'm not sure what the problem is. What I am hearing does sound like the descriptions I've read w.r.t. the jitter buffer, but making jitter buffer changes haven't really changed the effect. That gives 2 possibilities: 1. That the jitter buffer isn't working and it *should* fix the problem. 2. That the problem is completely independent of the JB so there is nothing the JB can do to fix it. > To do that, in /etc/asterisk/logger.conf edit the debug line to be: > > debug => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose > > Then run asterisk like so: > > /usr/sbin/asterisk -vv -g -dd -c > > Then go "iax2 debug" at the CLI prompt. > > Do a test call, then send me the resulting /var/log/asterisk/debug file. I will do that. Hopefully that will help us isolate the problem and perhaps eliminate the jitterbuffer from the equasion. :) I will try to run this test today and report back my findings. Also, on Thursday I will be going into the main office. I will take my little * box and try the IAXtel test there. That should help determine if it's my local office net connection that is the problem.

Unfortunately, I have discovered that either the HDD or the ide controller in that system is bad because it cannot stay up overnight. When I stress it with a YaST update, it will die much more reliably. Until I can address that issue, I will have to work on my main system.

Hmm, I thought that the timing source was only needed for trunking. I don't have on on the little box, but I do have a TDM400 (which seems to have faults, also, but Digium suggested moving the FXO to socket 4, we'll see if that helps) in the main box, so that should be all set for a timing source. > Also -- make sure your uplink is acceptable.

Since I have to test on that with X turned off, I don't even need the SIP phone active. In case it might be relevant (there are SO many pieces to this puzzle that I want to mention all I can think of in case they ring a trouble-bell in someone's mind...) my router is a Netgear FVS318 acting as a NAT to my ISP. > > So even with X11 eliminated the sound is still bad to Digium.

I've checked with my ISP and he said that the connection is surely half-duplex, but you say that you have 1/2 also and it works fine for you, so that's not it. I'm also inquiring about other filters they might have in place. I've heard them mention before that they had some cool router software that could detect traffic patterns usually associated with software and music piracy and then throttle that traffic into a small part of The Pipe. I haven't yet heard back, and I'm hoping that isn't the case. However, if it *is*, a VPN between offices might help. IAXtel would be shot, though. Hoever, if that *is* the case, I can probably convince them to tell their software to leave me alone on a couple specified ports. > > Would IAX/GSM be so sensitive to half-duplex that I cannot expect it to > > work with my ISP only giving me 1/2 duplex service? > > It has nothing to do with IAX or GSM.

I'm not trying to blame anyone, I love * and except for a couple glitches that we're working on (with all your gracious help), I'm very impressed. My one glitch may be with the hardware, so that's a separate issue, but the other is trying to figure out this issue with IAX/GSM. When I ask about sensitivity, I don't mean to be accusatory. IAX is open and freely available and GSM is freely usable, and I'm glad. Sometimes OSS has its limitations and I am willing to work with

Is there any way to do this 'live'? I get it intermittently and capturing debug for days before the problem is manifest is probably not the best way to do it. I've tried leaving the debug line in and not invoking any kind of -d in the asterisk startup but the debug log still grows. I can't comment out the debug line in logger.conf because a logger reload or reload will NOT create the debug file, only a restart will. Ideally some way to create the debug file but write very litte to it until I connect with "asterisk -rc" or something would be best I imagine. Also, is are logs of problem conversations already in progress any use to you? You nailed down the "dead audio after 65535ms" problem but every now and again (very very rare) we will have a conversation where the incoming audio goes totally dead for about 2-4 seconds and then continues just fine. This occurs usually several minutes into the conversation, and I've never seen it occur twice in a conversation. Obviously this is next to impossible to catch. :-( I haven't heard a complaint about it since turning off jitter buffer to nufone.

Ok so the disparity between iax2 show channels between two 20040806 (looks live) and 20040806 and RC1 (shows 0s) is expected?

Asterisk is an application requiring hard realtime performance. Pretty much any telephony application is. Running *anything* in addition to asterisk is just asking for trouble.

My understand, admittedly limited, is that the windowing system (X or other) generates a lot of interupts. This can burden the system that is also engaged in real-time tasks such as rpt for voip.

It doesn't seem like that should be a problem, though, because we've been running VOIP with Multitech proprietary hardware for over two years now with little trouble and excellent voice quality. That was using a 9.6KBps codec. The difference between that and what I'm getting from IAX/GSM is profound, with GSM being intolerably poor quality. As a test, I ran two internal * machines with IAX/GSM between them. A conversation would consume from 7-10KBps, varying. Then I would call Digium's iaxtel number and I could see traffic from 4.5-8KBps and the voice was all choppy. I called another person's system (knowing they had IVR, of course) and the audio was also choppy, but when it got through the message and sent ring tones, they sounded fine. Then another voice message and it was choppy again. So I tried digium again. This time I could see the bandwidth being consumed, but I heard nothing on the line at all. So I tried calling my own iaxtel number. I could see my badwidth usage jump to about 10KBps, as I would expect and * told me that it was playing out the appropriate audo to the "incoming caller". I heard nothing, however. Does this perhaps give any further indication of what might be wrong? I have in my [general] section: bandwidth=low disallow=all allow=gsm jitterbuffer=yes dropcount=10 maxjitterbuffer=500 maxexcessbuffer=100 minexcessbuffer=10 jittershrinkrate=1 trunk=no register => me:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tos=lowdelay I'm working towards a client install of IAX which will be used for inter-office VOIP, but I need to get this issue worked out or it's not deployable. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

About 50% of the time, systems will get it wrong as there are no standards as to how the negotiation should be done. No standard? Huh? You mean besides 'NWay', which is part of 802.3? http://www.scyld.com/NWay.html I've certainly seen problems, particularly with older Cisco switches and routers, but newer hardware seems to be pretty good. In fact, autonegotiation is *required* with GigE; you aren't even allowed to disable it according to the specs. Of course, that's sort of moot, because 1000/half isn't even slightly useful due to its 640-byte minimum packet size. At my previous employer, we were having tons of duplex problems. They mostly boiled down to forced duplex problems, where someone would force one end of a link, but leave the other end to autonegotiate. With most of Cisco's hardware, forcing 100/full *completely* disables autonegotiation. IMHO, it should still participate in autonegotiation, but only advertise the 100/full ability. Instead, Cisco tells the other end "I don't negotiate." So, if you set one end to 100/full and fail to force the other end, then it will try to negotiate, fail, and fall back to 100/half, because that's the only reasonable thing to when negotiation fails. At this point, one end is 100/full and the other is 100/half, and you're about to have trouble. The really fun thing with this sort of link is that it works just fine with low traffic levels--a normal ping won't show problems, but it'll break when you actually try to use it for anything non-trivial. Using larger ping packets helps: ping -s 1 totally fails if the duplex is broken anywhere along the link. With newer IOS and CatOS builds, you can get around this by leaving CDP enabled; CDP v2 shares duplex information, and it'll log duplex mis-matches when both ends of the link use Cisco hardware. I wrote a small CDP listener for Linux boxes and did the same thing, logging duplex mis-matches. With 700 servers over 2 years, the only mismatches we ever found were caused by forced 100/full on the switches. One easy fix that we found, at least for IOS switches, was to set the speed to auto but force the duplex. That apparently leaves NWay negotiation running but only advertises full duplex as an option. Since nothing *ever* uses NWay to negotiate the speed of the link, this has the same result as forcing 100/full, but it fails in the right direction if you only force one end of the link. Of course, knowing Cisco, this only applies for every third model of switch running even-numbered IOS builds.

I do a lot of work with companies throughout the US on network performance and we _frequently_ run into routers, switches, servers, etc, that are allowed to auto-negotiate their half vs full duplex nic interfaces. About 50% of the time, systems will get it wrong as there are no standards as to how the negotiation should be done. A recent case this past week indicated that data flow between two servers on the same layer-2 network was around 400 kbps when it should have been able to sustain at least 80 meg.

Do you have "r" on your Dial line? If so, then Asterisk will override whatever should you SHOULD be hearing and provide you with a ringing sound.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAXTel multiple registers?
And what I told you works just fine. I'm taking 20+ DIDs from a single IAX provider with no problems what-so-ever.

You do this with contexts attached to the [provider] section in the iax.conf file and you provide coresponding contexts and extensions in your extensions.conf file.
