Small town, but customers are yelling. Anyone heard of an issue in that part of Oregon with Verizon? PRI service dropped a few hours ago and I can't seem to get an answer out of Verizon. -Jonathan

Requal - VoIP quality analysis and alerting
by jtodd＠loligo.com Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

I've had some high hopes for recqual, though I have to admit I've not used it other than to get it running once. It's an end-to-end voice quality analysis system which creates looping calls with known audio patterns,and then self-examines the audio in both directions to determine if there is any unusual result in the sound comparison. Has anyone used it at length? Is anyone interested in helping develop this platform? It seems like a fairly universal solution to monitoring voice quality in a network, in a truly "as-the-user-sees- it" manner. It has Asterisk as its core, but could work in conjunction with any VoIP or even TDM platform as it is simply a call generator/receiver. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Recqual JT

We have had several complaints from ATT wireless clients getting number disconnected error messages or fast busy tones. If there is anyone from ATT Wireless on this list, can you please contact me off list.

Carrier choices

Qwest has proven to be very reliable for outbound and inbound termination. When you setup your wholesale account with them, you can request multiple trunks to different areas of the country. For outbound this is great to provide redundancy however for inbound you manually have to move the TF DIDs to the working trunk via a webpage. ~Jared Geiger On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 12:30 PM, Alex Balashov <abalashov at evaristesys.com>wrote: > J.

I doubt anybody has one, but anyone have a spare Telica SP laying around with 3.10 integrated software on it that would be willing to part with it?

Depending on the region you serve 360networks... Yes, shameless plug but we have geo redundancy and we are easy to work with. We notify you of changes and keep to our maint. Windows. And same Sonus infrastructure... Best, Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org <voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org> To: voiceops at voiceops.org <voiceops at voiceops.org> Sent: Sat Aug 22 06:59:07 2009 Subject: [VoiceOps] Carrier choices Alrighty all, I'm wondering whose been a successful, competent, reliable provider in your opinion. I don't want to ramble on about any specific company, but I have a gripe with one of my carriers. Currently I use Level3, Global and Verizon. Anyone have other reliable providers who don't make full-blown equipment swapouts without change management (reversion) plans during business hours ;) Difficult to find an all-inclusive list of carriers. I know about XO and Qwest, but anyone else using a reliable peer I'm overlooking. Off-list replies welcomed however, I wouldn't want to hear full-blown gripes. I've had enough from clients this week due to one of my carriers and their desire to yank/change equipment without 1) notifying us of a change(potential outage) not reverting/resolving fast enough. So imagine your entire VoIP ITSP infrastructure down the first time for 8+ hours, only for the same carrier to come back and do the exact same thing within 10 days for 9+ hours more. Yes sir/maam, I've had headaches this week. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.

Does anyone implement RFC 3219?
by jonathan＠thurmantech.com Aug. 22, 2009

Aug. 22, 2009

Does anyone use RFC 3219 - Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP), or are there any vendors that implement it? After doing some research into different peering methods, I am not sure why this seems to have failed. Here is a link to some useful information about TRIP if you don't know about it: http://www.packetizer.com/ipmc/trip/ Thanks -Jonathan
