asterisk users - Nov 2006 - switching trunks based on quality

What is everyone out there doing in an all IP termination environment to
change trunks when quality drops to a certain provider automatically?

Thanks

Curt

Curt,

"quality" and "automatically" need to be further defined.
Sure, you
can blacklist a trunk temporarily (i.e. put it out of service) with
simple dialplan logic. How you determine when to do that, meaning how
you determine when the quality isn't satisfactory, is another
question. You could do it with an external script that creates/deletes
a file or what not.

About the only thing you CAN do is use the qualify option in sip.conf or 
iax.conf.  The main issue with this is that SIP qualify in Asterisk has 
no method to prevent devices from "bouncing" if they take longer than 
expected to respond to a SIP OPTIONS packet.  This is my opinion, a 
major drawback.
