From john_reads_cnet_via_archives at covert.org Tue Jan 1 00:32:27 2008 From: john_reads_cnet_via_archives at covert.org (John R. Covert) Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 01:32:27 -0500 (EST) Subject: [VoIP] Firewall logs & status check results Message-ID: <20080101073538.78ABF56139@ns01.ckts.info> >I suppose the lack of separate timeouts could be corrected Ahah. I checked iax.conf.sample in a newer release, and found a parameter that had not previously existed. ; If we don't get ACK to our NEW within 2000ms, and autokill is set to yes, ; then we cancel the whole thing (that's enough time for one retransmission ; only). This is used to keep things from stalling for a long time for a host ; that is not available, but would be ill advised for bad connections. In ; addition to 'yes' or 'no' you can also specify a number of milliseconds. ; See 'qualify' for individual peers to turn on for just a specific peer. ; autokill=4000 I agreed with the comment that "yes" (2000 ms) is ill-advised, and set it to 4000. This would be more like the timeout on an MF circuit if you hit a stuck register that won't wink back at you. With this set, the following happened when calling a system that was not responding: Jan 1 01:31:39 NOTICE[16627]: chan_iax2.c:2889 auto_congest: Auto-congesting call due to slow response But that returned "CONGESTION" rather than "CHANUNAVAIL", and so I play congestion tone (120 ipm) rather than my "The number you are calling is currently unavailable." After removing the autokill (and a restart of asterisk, not just an IAX2 reload) I get CHANUNAVAIL (and a proper error message) and the following happens: Jan 1 01:49:35 WARNING[19159]: chan_iax2.c:1775 attempt_transmit: Max retries exceeded to host 206.51.196.18 on IAX2/206.51.196.18:4569-7 (type = 6, subclass = 1, ts=3, seqno=0) That takes 30 seconds to happen. (My comment about it using the Dial timeout parameter is wrong; it uses timeouts built into the source. My dial timeout is 120 seconds. The source retries four times in that 30 seconds.) I should point out that in this case wawinastep.northerntelephone.net _is_ hung (not totally unreachable), because I CAN ping it: PING wawinastep.northerntelephone.net (206.51.196.18): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 206.51.196.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=44 time=63.953 ms But it's not responding to IAX2 connections to 14882600. Since my portal chirps when it begins processing the call, you know that it's not waiting for more digits. I've pulled the autokill back out; I'd rather wait and get the CHANUNAVAIL message. BTW, the other end can also force a CHANUNAVAIL by issuing a Hangup() before an Answer(). This is distinct from issuing a Congestion(). Also, I thought Chad Perkins had an automated test and status thing running, that would only call test numbers explicitly listed as Milliwatt (or something) in the Member listings. If we want automated testing, we should have it driven off of a standardized entry in the Member Listings, so that (a) you only get tested if you want, and (b) you can have the test be sent to any number or numbers, since we may need to test other than just full NXX codes. /john From voiptandem at shaneyoung.com Tue Jan 1 02:26:55 2008 From: voiptandem at shaneyoung.com (Shane Young) Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2008 02:26:55 -0600 Subject: [VoIP] Firewall logs & status check results In-Reply-To: <20080101073538.78ABF56139@ns01.ckts.info> References: <20080101073538.78ABF56139@ns01.ckts.info> Message-ID: <20080101022655.o8yney9zhwc4w0g4@secure.shaneyoung.com> Quoting "John R.

I think the goals of the two were different. Chad's tests that he can actually place a call to the system and get something expected back, so it *should* check a published number. The function that I was doing was more of routing configuration verification / number inventory checking system . Basically the goal was to walk through all of the office codes, see if they had entries in DNS and see if the far-end actually had anything asterisk-like listening for connections. Chad tests to verify (to some extent) that the far end is configured correctly (does he get what he expects when he calls the number). I would just verify there is *something* on the far end accepting IAX2 connections at all. I suppose an ultimate test would be to see if you reach something beyond the Asterisk system (in the case of tandems). --Shane +1-821-7311 CNET ---------------------------------------------------------------- From ikj1234i at yahoo.com Tue Jan 1 09:43:04 2008 From: ikj1234i at yahoo.com (ikjtel) Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 07:43:04 -0800 (PST) Subject: [VoIP] NYT Article on Joybubbles a.k.a.

I haven't talked to Greg in a while and this topic hasn't come up in quite some time, so I don't know where this offer stands and whether there is any interest in taking this to the next step and going "production". The CNET "Milliwatt" Test was created in August of 2006 to create a "status board" of what CNET nodes were up and down, etc. The (beta) page is here: http://maine.maine.edu/~chad/cnetmwt.html Someone once said 'there is no test like a real test'. Seeing how most everyone at the time had a standard Milliwatt number on their Asterisk, this provided a non- intrusive way to place calls to each tandem and record the result. CNETMWT was designed to to create a color-coded view of what was up and what was down. It used an enhanced dialcnet2 macro which used the same logic as real calls but also recorded bits of information to support the creation of the web page and build status history (i.e. down since 12/31/07). CNETMWT would show ENUM status, call connection status, and made an attempt to check for a compatible codec (a problem that we still seem to struggle with). If Greg or anyone has any interest in salvaging this project contact me on or off the list (or better yet, call! 1-955-9924). The intention has always been to extend to test to all cnet nodes (tandems outside of North America), however there are a couple challenges. One involves moving the page/files to a new webserver (mine does not support long filenames and I'm not inclined to rewrite the code to make the test 8.8 friendly for the web server). The second involves ckts.info portal and database additions, or manual data entry, monitoring and synchronization by me (which is poor design that I don't have the time waste on). So this project languished again this fall until the CNET numbering assignment method was changed in such a way that broke the test for new members (granted this is not something someone can't write enough code to get around, but I'm done with it). Getting back to John's e-mail, I would support the addition of a "test number" to the ckts.info database. It would solve International and thousand block pooling issues noted above, however in defense of what Shane has done I don't think you can establish a "consent to be tested" separate from "consent to be called" policy.

Perhaps the problem remains and is perhaps a case of it being broken in particular setups for some reason. What I can say is that even though ENUMLOOKUP works fine on my 1.4.13 system it didn't work originally on 1.4.9 even though I had modified it for the additional parameter after upgrading from 1.2.13. In the end retyping the line identically to the one I already had in the dialcnet macro was the answer and to this day I still have no idea why that made a difference.

I doubt that Asterisk would ever drop support for analog FXO and FXS ports - especially since Digium sells cards with such ports. However, you aren't going to get patches into the official Asterisk source tree unless you sign a release to Digium to allow them to incorporate the patches into their commercial Asterisk Business Edition. CallWeaver, formerly OpenPBX is a fork of Asterisk, purely GPL, and it is already diverging significantly from Asterisk (for instance, using SQLite instead of an ancient version of BerkeleyDB, and also providing T.38 fax support). A detailed FAQ is available at . It might be worthwhile to investigate it - however, it would still rely on Zaptel for the FXS, FXO, and TDM interfaces.

I don't know what the situation in the US is but from what I have seen in the UK businesses are quickly being pushed towards digital PBXs by BT and VOIP has a very firm foothold here now. My thinking is that once there is no call for analogue in the business market then support for FXO and FXS will quickly die. Obviously Zaptel will be adapted for newer technology and surely support for analogue will be deprecated. My expectation is that analogue in all its forms will have disappeared from the Uk within 10 years for so many reasons including new technology, COSHH regulations and cost effectiveness amongst others. I certainly wasn't thinking about getting patches into the official Asterisk release either as it is not in Digium's interest. I suppose we are safe with Asterisk as long as there are countries in the world where analogue remains in demand but I have no idea about statistics in that area. My thinking is that there can't be too many countries in the world that are not moving headlong into new technology, after all in many third world countries landline telephony has been all but bypassed by mobile telephony.

Analog phones will be around for a long while here - even whizbang fiber-to-the-home services provide an analog jack for the phones. A standards war between Lucent and Nortel helped make BRI a spectacular failure in North America; while vendors and providers wasted time and money dithering over a national ISDN standard, dialup modem speeds jumped and eliminated much of the urgency to switch to ISDN. Then DSL, cable, and fiber came on the scene, driving the final nails into BRI's coffin. BRI service is barely even available any more, and one might have to dig deep to find someone at the phone company who even knows what the hell it is. Digital PBX systems are very common here, too - but if they aren't big enough for a PRI, the PSTN connection will still be analog. The big phone companies don't offer fractional T1 services, and fractional T1 doesn't become cost-effective unless you need more than 12 lines.

I really wish I could interconnect an American BRI to Asterisk. It would eliminate all the problems with my analog loop and FXO port. Here in California, BRI is relatively affordable at 35$ per month (cheap when you consider that's two B Channels) but all the hardware interfaces for Asterisk are for EuroISDN. I tried to point out to Digium that BRI is an obvious solution for the small business market they're going after, but they look at BRI penetration rates in the US, which are quite low. My follow-up point that California is a huge market and that availability of a BRI interface for Asterisk would probably drive sales of BRI here fell on deaf ears. I agree, analog lines/ports are going to be around for a very long time yet.

As to drivers, I have never had a problem with CentOS working with most any hardware I have installed in on. First version 3, then 5, other have used CentOS 4 All the Red Hat variants seem to be the most trouble free, though users on the Asterisk users list have reported more difficulties with Fedora than CentOS. Specifically what drivers are you missing or concerned with? The other Linux distros, such as Debian and Madriva and ??? have their own way of doing things and are not for the Linux novice, in my opinion Asterisk has specific hardware it will work with for the analog and T1/E1 cards, and some Digium hardware will not work with boards that do not follow strictly the PCI 2.2 interface. If you MB has any ISA slots, the TDM400 and others with the TigerJet chip set will not work, and some motherboards that say PCI 2.2 don't work either. The Sangoma A200 is much more forgiving, though installing their software is more difficult. Sangoma has always responded and fixed problems though, so their support is great. I have used CentOS, a TDM400, and Asterisk 1.2 on Pentium III motherboards successfully, and even have one CNET user on RH9, an X100 card and a single board computer with an AMD K2-300 and a 10 Gig hard drive that I support remotely. He needed something cheap. Hope this answers some of your questions.

Works well with SIP devices such as the Cisco 3810 that John Jones is so good with, as well as IAX2 to CNET. The 5710 does have one PCI slot, but with the construction of the 5710 isn't usable without a generally unavailable accessory that consists of a replacement set of covers for one side and a right angle PCI adapter that is opposite the ones generally found. $100 plus shipping at cost - will fit in a flat rate USPS $8.95 box.

They could measure the number of downloads just fine by parsing their web server logs. When you go to , every link presented is actually a redirect. If you navigate your way in, and want to download asterisk-1.2.26.tar.gz, you'll get this link: If you want to use wget, you'll need to strip off the redirector crap (everything from the "=" leftwards).

The standby *box I am busily loading up between chores is a P3/450 with one X100P card, it also uses F7 and will use *1.4.17 when I get around to it. Interestingly the P3/600 has a 1997 or earlier mobo with just three PCI slots whilst the P3/450 has a 1999/2000 mobo with three PCI slots, the third slot being shared with an ISA slot. These two old PCs have blown away my XP1800 and XP3000 AMD machines, these were homebuilt in 2002 and 2003, which have failed as *boxes to a great extent, indeed I think the XP3000 may be fatally wounded as I was unable to get a hard drive to run the last time I looked at it. The XP1800 was my *pbx2 that failed to reboot properly following a prolonged power outage on 20th December last and it has donated its 60Gb hard drive to the P3/450 designated *pbx8. What has become a problem is finding hard drives for *boxes built on older PCs, I have some new 160Gb drives lying around but they will only run as 32Gb and I hate wasting all that capacity. 60Gb seems to be the maximum I can get to run in the P3s and the 80Gb drives I tried won't work unless I tell the BIOS they are 60Gb or less. I have an old AMD K2/??? which I will probably turn into something useful, I had earmarked it as a *pbx but perhaps I'll build a router out of it. Other *boxes will be built on quite solidly built Aopen P2/350 PCs which I have lying about in various states. The drawback to them is taht they have only 4.3Gb hard drives and I found there wasn't even spare capacity to perform yum updates! Interesting comments about the TDM cards, I have not really considered them as they are pricey and I am more inclined to go for external multiport gateways as it is simply less hassle. Currently I am quite happy with the X100P cards on my systems.

Same here. I can't decide which is worse: calls breaking up on my voip line, or the levels and echo problems on my analog line. BRI would be perfect. But as someone who works at a telco, I have to say that I'd *much* rather provision an ISDN PRI than an ISDN BRI. The programming is much more straightforward. And, as someone who had BRI service until 1999 (for my internet connection), it struck me as being somewhat clunky that I had to have two separate interfaces to get 2B+1D to work. I've seen a bounty offered for a North American BRI asterisk interface, and I'd be willing to toss a nickle or two that way, but I'm not optimistic.

Hey, if I could get a PRI from Pacific Bell for the same price they charge for a BRI, I'd be fine with that :-) Interestingly, they won't give me CNAM on BRI, only on PRI. I realize that CNAM wasn't part of the original ISDN spec, perhaps they just didn't bother to back-port it to small- potatoes BRI? I've heard people rave about the Sangoma cards (with hardware EC). They say their echo and level problems evaporated when they switched from Digium to Sangoma, so this prospect tempts me. On the other hand, I could get the new hardware EC module for my TDM800 card, but if it turns out to be a dog, I've just invested more money in the wrong vendor's products...

There are PCI IDE controller cards that have their own BIOS and won't waste space on large drives - or you could get a SATA card and use a SATA drive instead, as the SATA cards also have their own BIOS.

I used it on older machines and it gave me full use of the drive. The 200GB drive had to be partitioned into a 137GB partition and a 66 GB partition. Yesterday I used MaxBlast on a 100 GB Seagate drive. I wondered whether it would accept the Seagate drive. It announced that it recognized it was being installed on a non-Maxtor drive and said and asked me to accept that Maxtor would not be responsible if it did not work properly on this non-Maxtor drive (as though they accept responsibility if it does not work on a Maxtor drive!!). Prior to running Maxblast, the Windows did not show the presence of the drive at all, though the BIOS setup screen listed it as being present. You can probably find a similar utility on any drive mfr's website.

Russ and others can comment on that. Given that the cost of big drives is SO cheap right now, and MANY of them can be jumpered for some magic number, it's hardly worth the effort. Also I have bought MANY 20 Gig drives off eBay for next to nothing. Used, of course, but landed at 11 bucks each! Even if one isn't so hot, who really cares.

I don't mind buying drives because I will always be able to use them although having said that I have a lot of 1,2 and 4Gb drives lying around. I keep wondering how long it will be before we have 20, 40 or 80 Gb flash drives and 100% solid state PCs . My old P1/120 was delivered in 1999 with 1.2Gb hard drive and compared to what I had been using before giving up computing in the mid 1980s that seemed massive, my previous computers used dual 720Kb DSDD floppy drives and 10Mb was a decent sized hard drive at the time. Today I have a 2Gb flash drive smaller than my first, which was 64Mb, and much smaller of course than a standard 3.5" hard drive. Such capacity was simply never imagined when I fist got into computing in the mid 1970s. I noted in the December magazines that there is a solid state PC now on the market which uses a flash drive linux operating system and a flash drive RAM so I don't suppose it will be too long before somebody connects one to CNET as a *box. Two of my existing home built PCs can use SATA drives but so far I have resisted the temptation of adding further diversity to my collection of hardware.

In fact I have a couple of copies of Maxblast and Seagate Seatools on 1.4Mb floppies too, these programs used to be free downloads from the manufacturer websites and to be honest I never thought to try either. As a matter of course I have generally kept such handy tools for troubleshooting other peoples PCs and have got used to maually setting up my own perhaps because until recently I have seldom had problems! I still have a ton of stuff on 5.25 floppy disks too although I don't know how they stand up to living in the rather damp garage. I just don't have the room for them in the house, most of my old computers live out there too!

There is less on the mobos which are both baby ATX and one is so quiet you have to almost have your ear to it to hear that it is running even though I run it without the covers on! The PSUs are definitely lower wattage and the fans are much quieter. Of course as a 'collector' I am loathe to scrap anything especially as it may come in useful in the future although the likelihood is that most of the things I have accumulated will remain packed away.

I think what's happening is that Enumlookup (a DNS query) is timing out before getting an answer (Asterisk does hang for a minute on the EnumLookup). The larger problem I think is even pinging is very slow by name (i.e. std.ckts.info). Connections made by IP address are just as fast as before, even to the same site(s).

My router IP address is set as the DNS server IP address in all my devices and I have had no problems but then my ISP IP address is fixed. To be honest I don't think it would be a problem if I had a DHCP ISP IP address as long as I used DynDNS or other service because my router can work with that too.

I had hard coded all IP addressing information in to the Linux (CentOS 4.5) box. When using Firefox on the Linux box, all DNS queries were resolved properly. For some reason Asterisk could not resolve to the ENUM server. I would see the request made, but ultimately time out. I had made the Linux default gateway the router, as I do on my Windoooz pc. It was odd that I had to put Comcast's DNS in to Linux in order for DNS to resolve. I do obtain my router address and other ISP settings via DHCP but everything else on my network is hard coded. I use no-ip.com to resolve my dynamic ISP IP address to my router so I can be part of CNET. This problem also plagued me on Centos 3.8.

My router IP address is set as the DNS server IP address in all my devices and I have had no problems but then my ISP IP address is fixed. To be honest I don't think it would be a problem if I had a DHCP ISP IP address as long as I used DynDNS or other service because my router can work with that too.

In a static IP situation, your entries in /etc/resolv.conf would always be there exactly as you entered them. This would include your ISP's DNS server, and other optional information. But, by using DHCP, the /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten by whatever information your DHCP server provides. If I understand you correctly, it is your router that is acting as a DHCP server, and it is handing out its own IP address as being the DNS server. So, I zero in on the DHCP server. Two thoughts occur to me. Either (a) the DHCP server doesn't know how to deal with NAPTR DNS resource records, or (b) it doesn't have an upstream DNS server that it queries that responds in a timely manner. A way around this would be to have a file that you save as a template for the /etc/resolv.conf, and then copy it over (via cron) from time to time to your /etc/resolv.conf. Example: Create a file in /etc that is named resolv.template. In this file, have something like the following: nameserver 199.191.128.103 nameserver 199.191.128.104 Then, set up a cron job to overwrite your resolv.conf a few times per day: # crontab -e 4 * * * * cd /etc; rm -f resolv.conf; cp resolv.template resolv.conf See if that helps at all. > -----Original Message----- > From: voip-bounces at ckts.info [mailto:voip-bounces at ckts.info] > On Behalf Of Chad Perkins > Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 10:57 AM > To: Voice Over IP Tandem for Analog Switches > Subject: Re: [VoIP] ENUM (Linux DNS) and Linksys WRT54GS > > The problem seems to be in Linux.

I can help with this problem, but I'm not really connected to CNET, although you might be able to call me on +1 377 0500 -Mark Greg Blakely wrote: > Even though others seem to disagree, I think that it has something to do > with DHCP. > > In a static IP situation, your entries in /etc/resolv.conf would always > be there exactly as you entered them.
