I know as Metaswitch goes it's in c/c++. Metaswitch parent company is Data Connection which actually writes a lot of the network/voip protocol stacks that cisco/juniper/lucent ect use. So it's always nice to have some support from that arm of the company when you have that low of a level of an issue which by the way I have and my support guy and myself worked with the data connection arm to figure out the issue.

Each company is beholden to the geeks that build, maintain and manage the mess of code that exists. Those geeks either get to choose what technologies are used, or do not have the resources to rewrite working code and are forced to maintain the code already written, maybe adding things on in different more familiar languages along the way, until you're in a giant pile of spaghetti code in 9 languages, all tangled loosely but functionally together by a very thin thread. What do Metaswitch or Broadsoft use? C? Perl? Are they using Asterisk or did they build their own telecom server stack? How do you know they are NOT using PHP internally or even externally? Disabling the web management server's tag (not returning "Apache/1.2.47 PHP/5.2.5" on requests, even though that is exactly what it is running) is trivial and a good security choice, assuming these devices are configured via a web-based interface. >>> Good to know; I had not considered the soft reload angle.

While not operational (per-se) I wanted to post these questions... 1) Anyone have a reliable source for a) Canadian DID's 2) I've slapped together a creative honeypot for Asterisk if anyone else is seeing those pesky little scans... For 2) shoot me an off-list message, there is much that I won't publicly post for obvious reasons. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.

DIDww China DID Outage
by beckman＠angryox.com Aug. 5, 2009

Aug. 5, 2009

I only have two China DIDs with DIDww, but both are currently non-functioning and have been for several days. DIDww has been responsive and informative, but unfortunately their carrier has not given any updates nor resolved the issue. Is anyone else affected by this outage? Are any other carriers affected by this outage? Because of the outage I'm looking, either temporarily or permanently, for replacements. I'm aware that DIDx has China DIDs, but I was wondering if any other providers offered China DIDs without a minimum per month, such as Voxbone. I also am curious if DIDx China DIDs are affected by this issue, or if it is just DIDww's China carrier.

Hi all, What tools are you using to let your users of any problems or changes with an online history? We use RT for support but wanted something simplier than mailman. We'll have a twitter status page/post too. Thanks. -- Sent from my mobile device http://www.suretecsystems.com/services/openldap/ http://www.suretectelecom.com

If you upgrade BW to a new SP or major version, check this setting before and after: WS_CLI/System/ClientSession/LoginAuthLevel Its reverted to default upon upgrade a couple of times, which was really no fun at all.
