Err, does accountcode get passed when terminating with SIP? I thought accountcode was only used for local call records. ___ --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

IAX2 was designed to leverage the core capabilities of Asterisk and not take the same route that other protocols took by learning from their mistakes. There are just some things it wasn't designed to do 'nor does it claim to do. It wasn't made with the capability to transport accountcode or other arbitrary Asterisk specific information. Could it be added though? sure. Doug.

Could it be added though? sure. What about this scenario? User A calls User B. User A and User B are registered on the same Asterisk system. User B does an attended transfer, and transfers the call to user C, who is registered on a different asterisk system. You set the accountcode to be user B's account code, as user B will be responsible and billed for this call leg. You then do a DUNDi lookup, and get an IAX path to user C on the second asterisk system. You dial user C. At this point, no account code was passed with IAX between the two Asterisk systems. How can user B be billed for the call???

How can user B be billed for the call??? Consider a more common case: User A uses their local Asterisk (B) to call PSTN Number Z via a trunk to a provider gateway running asterisk (C). If Account code is settable remotely, we can't trust it for billing. User A inserts an account code into their IAX message, it travels through both IAX connections and messes up the billing in C ? That's why the account code isn't passed.
