asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Hypothetical IAX2 situation

Two * servers:  *a and *b.

Outside call comes in *b, and is automatically routed to *a.  Someone on 
a sip phone connected to *a then decides to transfer the call to someone 
on a sip phone connected to *b.  The transfer works.

At this point, is *a still in the converstation?  Or is * smart enough 
to see where the data stream is going/coming from?


Thanks for any help in advanced, and sorry if this has been asked 
before.  I didn't know what I was looking for, so my searching was limited.

This is the purpose of the 'native transfer' feature controlled on a
per-peer basis by the 'notransfer' directive in /etc/asterisk/iax.conf.

Asterisk box '*a' will, some time shortly after a 'source -> *b
-> *a -> *b
-> destination' call path has been set up, quietly step out of the way
and
connect the endpoints directly to each other. In this case, it means the
call will be taken off of the network and bridged internally to *b.

Hope that helps.
