similar to: Receiving SIP calls without registeration and dynamic IP address

Hello Asteriskers, I'm confused about why Asterisk is not a SIP proxy and why exactly this can affect the performance of a large Asterisk system. I know that Asterisk acts as a useragent endpoint, but my doubt is why exactly Asterisk could overload the call flow if the RTP voice stream goes from the caller to the called party. Does someone know how many calls or pencentaje that could handle

I need to select a line from the Zap group channel using the SIP Phone (not FXO and not FXS ports). ignorepat does not work?

Hi List; I noticed that if I disabled secret in the context by placing ( ; ) before it, then at the asterisk the log will be: -- Registered SIP 'bilal_sip' at 0.0.0.0 port 5060 expired The IP address of the endpoint was not captured!!! Why? If secret enabled, then some endpoints can not register (maybe due to compatibility in reading the negotiation packets), so what is the solution?

Is Asterisk capable of handling video conference? I am wondering if there is anybody in the list who tried it with NetMeeting(s). If it is possible, is the * required to register in the GK for this purpose? or making it as h323gw only is enough. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
