Some calls are coming into sipXecs with a low number (5 of less,
sometimes 3 or less) hops remaining.
The ITSP says that the calls arrive at their switch that way.
Looking at the sipxtrace, it looks like the modular architecture of
sipXecs "eats" a lot of hops (ITSP to sipXbridge, sipXbridge to
sipXproxy, sipXproxy to sipXregistrar), causing the call to fail with
"Too many hops."
Is there a way to cause the sipXecs system as a whole to only treat
itself as one Hop (I hope that some other means of loop detection is
in place?)
Alternately, is there some way for the sipXbridge to add a few extra
hops to the incoming call to account for this?
I have seen this also. example: lets say we want a phantom user that
just fwds to a hunt group. Depending on how you set it up , time of day,
week of month, signs in the heavens, third thursday of week with 'A' in
month name.. it will work or not work (I have seen EXACTLY the same
setup work and EXACTLY the same setup fail).
Usually, I have to add a phantom phone and assign it the phantom user as
a line.. BUT NOT ALWAYS. and the calls come in and bounce 'too many
hops' when in fact, the call ia a DID, the DID is set to FWD to: a hunt
group, or a conference room.
I have also seen sipx (someone) set hops to 1 if NOT using sipx bridge
(ie: using a SBC)
