Last week, one of my very best customers asked me to do a dial plan that forwards an incoming call to an external server. So far, that can be done with a bridge statement pointing to sofia/internal/xxxx@server. But it was more complex as it seemed. The system administrator of the remote server claimed that no calls were arriving.
Symptom
I did put a sniffer with tcpdump and found the SIPI INVITE signal as follows:
23:01:05.856957 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 8448, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 1541)

So far so good this seemed pretty wel. However, after some retries, I found this:
23:01:11.683409 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 54, id 29990, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 576)
888.888.888.888 > 999.999.999.999: ICMP ip reassembly time exceeded, length 556
IP (tos 0x0, ttl 54, id 8445, offset 0, flags [+], proto UDP (17), length 1500)
You do not need to be very smart to realize that this issue is related to IP fragmentation. As I didn't have access to the remote server or any kind of communication, I decided to do the minimizing approach.

In the VoIP world, many companies have started to offer you what they call hybrid PBX systems. In general terms, a hybrid system is one that uses VoIP and PSTN (traditional telephony) at the same times. The strategy is not always important, some will suggest a fallback strategy others will suggest a least cost route strategy. Whatever the strategy is, it is just dial-plan configuration.
I will talk how a customer with a little of my assistance was able to configure his ATA Cisco/SPA8800-6.1.7(GW) to be able to route calls through the PSTN network without acquiring those very expensive and not less difficult to configure SFO'es. I won't talk about how to configure the ATA, in this specific case he must wait 1 second, then dial the number and it must end with a # for at least 150 ms. Note that this is a very specific configuration of this particular ATA, you should read the manual to know how to configure your PSTN dial-out sequence in your own device.

When you live in multi-lingual countries such as Canada, there are some laws that enforce multiple language support. Therefore, it is very common you have in the same tenant people who prefers one language over the other. Well, you are not alone, this is not the first time I get asked about this.
