ram wrote: > any success stories of the setup > > kindly post your config and information That would be really difficult to understand because this is all integrated in a bigger project. Basically we use MySQL to replicate from a central database to many Asterisk "nodes". (Or you could use MySQL Cluster.) All Asterisk servers read the sip friends, queues, etc. from their local MySQL database via Realtime. The users are distributed across the nodes. A bunch of custom scripts generate parts of the dialplan or are called via AGI in order to tell it where to route calls etc. We constantly check if all the Asterisk nodes respond to SIP packets, and should one of them ever fail to do so repeatedly a standby server takes it's place. This is done in less than 10 seconds without any manual interaction. The configuration is mainly done via command line tools to be easily scriptable. Additionally every user has access to a web interface where they can change their callforwarding rules, look at phonebooks, dialed numbers, missed calls, access voicemail, program their phone's keys, monitor queue status and so on ... The system provides all the phones with configuration (mass deployment), i.e. SIP settings, programmable keys, ringtones, ... All users are free to log in/out on their handsets or login at a different handset and have their private phonebook etc. available there (largely depends on the model). We are probably going to release our software in about 3 months or so (can't promise that, don't nail me down to it) under the GNU GPL.

Re: [asterisk-users] Distributed System
This fails to take into account total failure of a machine. NAT mappings and various other variables that are not covered by Dundi or realtime... Best thing is to use OpenSER in the front then failure isn't a huge issue. /b On Aug 28, 2007, at 4:40 PM, Bruce Reeves wrote: > Realtime and DUNDi covers all the bases. > ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Distributed System
Is there anywhere that we can look into for Realtime + MySQL that you mentioned? or about SER?

Re: [asterisk-users] Distributed System
The question I always have when someone mentions distributing the load across multiple machines is "how do you handle contexts for phones on different machines?" I want all of my phones to dial into [companyA-phones]. I have to define it in two different places (or more depending on the number of boxes). Also, say I have a single company and I want a single auto attendant with dial by name? If users go to two different boxes, then voicemail "dial by name" will break because voicemail won't check both boxes for the name. Also, what about dialing a peer. Say all of my phones are 2xx. If I am 201 and I dial 202, how is my dialplan setup so that it knows that 202 is on box 2, versus box 1 where I am registered? I think having several boxes works fine if you are doing "home user" type stuff where you don't have lots of users within one context, but if you have offices with several people, I just see lots of potential issues. I could be wrong, but I've never been able to figure out a way around it.
