[asterisk-users] IAX2 trunk with on demand Internet link
Hi, I'm connecting 2 Asterisk servers with an IAX2 trunk. Trunk works fine in testing, no problems there but the Internet at server-A is an "on-demand" system that is based on the amount of http/https traffic going through it (or if the link is brought up manually/via scripting interface). As such there will be times that the link is down....workflow-wise this is not an issue (trunk for a specific purpose) but are there any issues with how IAX2 will behave? Specifically, when the link comes up will the IAX2 trunk reconnect automatically? If so, how long will it take for the trunk to reconnect (high-speed, low-latency link)? If it won't come up reliably, does anyone have suggestions on methods to force an IAX2 reload, etc.? Making the link full-time is not an option so I'm trying to work out how to ensure that when the link is up, the trunk is up. I know, seems a bit weird in today's Internet for an on-demand link but that's where we stand - any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20150201/3b57d569/attachment.html>

We have two machines linked by an IAX2 trunk, one of which is a bit temperamental and keeps needing rebooting -- but it works fine, just coming up as and when it needs to. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
