Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else having Broadvoice Problems?
Could this possibly indicate a problem with asterisk where the first address resolved from sip.broadvoice.com isn't functioning correctly, and asterisk doesn't try the alternate address? This isn't a scientific analysis...just proposing an ideaI don't know enough about the internals to make a statement like this, I'm hoping that someone out there can provide more intelligent analysis of this! Asterisk does no do DNS queries every time it tries to send a call to another provider. It only does so on startup/reload. So it will only pickup the first address resolved. If it is down (like in your case) then your screwed. Might be worthwile to put in a BUG report to get a better funcionality here. Like for example if the remote host does not answer then redo the DNS query...

Like for example if the remote host does not answer then redo the DNS query... Instead of doing another DNS query, sip.broadvoice.com is returning more than one IP address, simply keep all of the addresses returned from that initial DNS query, and if a call fails on one, just try the others already in memory. I suppose, if all of those failed, performing another DNS query to see if there are new entries to try would make scenarios where one IP address fails less likely to impact service. The system would have a little more internal redundancy, allowing it to gracefully handle failover to other addresses, making recovery from similar external failures more automated and requiring less manual intervention to restore service. Almost always a good thing for a telco system. From my experience, it isn't that unusual for multiple IP addresses to be provided for VoIP services, or for one of the IP addresses to be down from time to time for maintenance purposes. As I mentioned in a previous message, I'm just getting started with Asterisk. Perhaps something like this is already happening, though it doesn't sound like it based on what I've been reading in this thread.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else having Broadvoice Problems?
I have also been having problems today registering... I contacted them, but they have no known issues. It finally did register on it's own. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andre Normandin Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 8:44 PM To: Asterisk-Users Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else having Broadvoice Problems? Suddenly my broadvoice will no longer register. It was working fine for over 1 month without a single problem, now I get a SIP registration timed out message. I called them, and I was told that they are experiencing problems, and they hoped to have it resolved ASAP. I called them at around 10 AM EST this morning. It's now 8:30 EST PM, and I still have not heard back, and the problem is not resolved. Is anyone else having problems with their broadvoice account? - Andre ___ 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 ___ 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
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else having Broadvoice Problems?
I have also been having problems today registering... I contacted them, but they have no known issues. It finally did register on it's own. For those having trouble with BV, try this for a test: in sip.conf, replace occurrences of sip.broadvoice.com with this IP: 147.135.0.129, explanation follows... I just got off the phone with BV support who said they are having some hardware issues on the west coast which should be fixed sometime in the morning on Thursday. Interestingly, he said that despite this problem there are hundreds of asterisk users currently registering without any problems. They suggested that maybe some users are specifying IP addresses instead of FQDNs in their sip.conf, foiling BV's failover capabilities. I *do* use a FQDN and still have no outbound calling working (inbound seems to work - albeit intermittently). In my testing, I noticed that a DNS query on sip.broadvoice.com returns two addresses: 147.135.8.129 and 147.135.0.129, with the .8.129 address being returned more often than the other...if I replace references to sip.broadvoice.com in sip.conf with the second address (147.135.0.129) my outbound calling starts working again. Could this possibly indicate a problem with asterisk where the first address resolved from sip.broadvoice.com isn't functioning correctly, and asterisk doesn't try the alternate address? This isn't a scientific analysis...just proposing an ideaI don't know enough about the internals to make a statement like this, I'm hoping that someone out there can provide more intelligent analysis of this! This also makes me wonder if the hundreds of other asterisk users who are registering correctly despite the hardware problem *are* using IP addresses instead of sip.broadvoice.com and just happen to have used the IP that is still working?
