FW: [outages] Bandwidth.com VOIP/SIP outage

FYI -----Original Message----- From: outages-bounces at outages.org [mailto:outages-bounces at outages.org] On Behalf Of Brent Jones Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 5:40 PM To: outages at outages.org Subject: [outages] Bandwidth.com VOIP/SIP outage It looks like Bandwidth.com is having another voice outage. Our outbound phone calls go to their system, and appear connected from our side, but Bandwidth.com side wont ring for about 2-5 minutes. Seemingly getting connected at Bandwidth.com but not making a successful dial tone to any POTS providers. Multiple sites seem to be having this problem. The Bandwidth.com call center is offline as well, getting either a disconnected message, or the number simply will not ring (from cellphones and landlines) -- Brent Jones brent at servuhome.net _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages at outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Mobile vs. Landline Lookup
by ivank＠rogers.com Nov. 8, 2011

Nov. 8, 2011

Hi, Does anyone have any experience doing mobile vs. landline lookups for US and Canada? What would be the best way to do this? A client has asked us whether this can be done and to be frank, I am not sure how we would go about it with LNP implemented in both countries. So we are looking for some pointers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ivan

CNAM in Germany
by paul＠timmins.net Nov. 4, 2011

Nov. 4, 2011

Does anyone know how this is implemented on the network side there? If they dip the CNAM/LIDB database there, or use the Generic Name in the IAM? Or some other black magic? Have a customer complaining that their caller ID with name no longer shows up on calls to Germany after switching to us. -Paul

Asterisk 1.6.2.20 deregistration bug with NAT keep-alive
by carlos＠televolve.com Nov. 3, 2011

Nov. 3, 2011

We installed an update last night, and found that half our customers would lose registration after about a minute. Packet capture shows that the phone sends the keep-alive (an options packet), gets back a SIP 481 no subscription, then immediately deregisters. Turning off keep-alive fixes the problem. No contact with Digium yet, figured I'd ask if anyone else has seen it, and also warn everyone. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003

SIP Scan

Can't say, just noticed multiple event logs from our PBX's across the country receiving a single invite (which we reject as not trusted), and then it moves on. Happened to have 4 servers in a /29 and saw it hit them in IP sequence, then was sent some logs from a server from yesterday, and the source IP was in the same octet as the other 4 servers.

PCI Compliance and VoIP
by gmina＠connectfirst.com Oct. 21, 2011

Oct. 21, 2011

Greetings, I am wondering what you folks out there do when a customer needs their voice service providers to be PCI compliant. We use many ITSPs over the public internet and it doesn't seem that any of them support any type of SRTP. Do we need to step back and go TDM to our ULC for 'secure' customers? Anyone know of any good inbound/outbound ITSP that is PCI compliant AND supports SRTP over the public network? Thanks in advance.

Unportable Numbers
by justlikeef＠gmail.com Oct. 20, 2011

Oct. 20, 2011

We have a customer in Northeast Georgia that currently has their phone service through an ILEC who I have been told will not sign the sharing agreements with the underlying VOIP networks, and therefore no one that I can find has any rate centers in that area. Also, the VOIP carriers have not been willing to do a off network port request, which when refused would allow me to continue forward on a complaint with the regulatory bodies. The underlying VOIP network companies have told me that they have Local Number Portability departments to work through this stuff, and I need to work with my higher level carriers to get a case opened with their LNP departments before they will talk to me. The higer level carriers are telling me they don't know what to do because they have never run into this before. Does anyone have any experience working through this mess? Thanks in advance for your help, Rob

Unportable Numbers

This sounds very similar to something we've seen before. Feel free to contact me to look at specifics, but the basic gist of it is this: ILECs don't have to interconnect with VOIP carriers. Period. They usually do not do so. ILECs do have to interconnect with CLECs. However, smaller rural ILECs have plenty of barriers that they erect to try to wear the CLEC down so they'll give up before they succeed. But in the end, they have to do it. Once a CLEC is interconnected with the ILEC, they will have to port numbers back and forth. The CLEC can then serve the VOIP provider and provide the service you seek. The #1 factor here is economy of scale. You've got to have enough business in this ILEC territory to justify the cost and effort that the CLEC is going to have to exert on your behalf. If you've got 50 residential customers, that isn't going to cut it. I'd say a $5000.00 MRC to the CLEC is about the bare minimum it would take to get us to do it again. We have done it before, and we're providing service in some small rural ILEC areas now in exactly this fashion.

How to get XO to remove a ported-out number?
by jay＠west.net Oct. 20, 2011

Oct. 20, 2011

We have a customer who moved their toll-free numbers from XO to us over a week ago. When this customer was served by them, XO had a backup route in place so that if the primary path failed, calls would complete to the executives' cell phones for emergencies such as a PRI circuit cut, PBX failure, etc. After the port, everything works except that whenever an XO customer dials the toll-free number it rings the executive's cell phone. It seems that XO hasn't torn town their interior routing. This is annoying to our customer and their callers. Trying to explain the nature of the problem to XO first-level support and getting them to act on it is becoming somewhat futile. Having our customer ask their random callers who are XO customers to open tickets is likewise somewhat awkward. Might there be an XO person lurking here who can contact me off-list or someone else who can offer a suggestion? -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
