Backport chan_mobile to 1.4

murf — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:30:34 +0000

I found getting chan_mobile to be a challenge to get up and running,
so, having completed the exercise, I thought it might be useful to
make available the procedure I followed to accomplish this.

New System Status for Asterisk GUI 2.0

awk_r — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:37:49 +0000

Hey Community,
I thought I'd take a break from coding for a bit and share with everyone some of the features with the new System Status page in the Asterisk GUI. I posted a few screenshots @ 'New System Status' image gallery, so take a look. Feedback is always welcome.

ODBC Transaction support

Corydon76 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:54:12 +0000

People have asked for many things after the release of func_odbc. Func_odbc is a module that permits you to create fill-in-the-blank SQL templates, which become dialplan functions. One of the requests was for automatically using the column names to populate variables, which became the HASH() function. Another request was for multi-row access, and that is now integrated within func_odbc as the parameter "mode=multirow".

AsteriskNOW 1.5 beta available

qwell — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:55:34 +0000

For the last few months, we've been working on an updated version of AsteriskNOW. What's changed in AsteriskNOW 1.5? Everything!

We switched the core Linux distribution to CentOS from rPath (which uses yum rather than conary).

hi,
like many of you probably know, last week was Astricon 2008.
We had a bunch of fun and talks were great.

For those of you who hadn't the chance to be there, here's some pictures of the conference:

Handling backports from trunk to 1.4

mvanbaak — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:08:43 +0000

Today I committed a new version of svnmerge to repotools that updates our version to the latest upstream version.

One of the best new features of the upstream svnmerge is the '--record-only' flag.

More Test Results

ctooley — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:01:18 +0000

It's going to take a while to fill it all in because I'm doing it in free time of my job, but I'm putting up results as I get runs done. You can see the results at http://www.simplified.org/trac/wiki/InterruptCoalescenceTesting as I complete them.

More Notes on Routing Longevity Tests

ctooley — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:09:54 +0000

Over the weekend the /var/log partition on the test run server filled up. As a consequence both the routing engine and Asterisk slowed way down. However, neither died, and upon clearing up space, both resumed normal operations. We're now past the 12 million call mark. After 20 million calls I'll switch to the new data set that should allow us to sustain 300-350 calls per second and I'll report again after the 100 million call test job completes.

Stress Testing Asterisk

ctooley — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:43:12 +0000

I've started running some stress tests of both SIP signaling and RTP handling in Asterisk 1.4 and Trunk. In our telecomm routing project we needed a SIP front end to our route selection server and the choice became Asterisk. However, we need to be able to push at least 400-500 calls/second through Asterisk to any given Griffin server. To do this is going to require some work on the Asterisk side of things (as well as a herculean effort on our Griffin development team).
