Limiting TOTAL outbound voip channels in use
Submitted by dwright154 on Mon, 05/05/2008 - 7:05pm.
So does anyone know a way to limit the total Voip channels in use? IE.
I have 3 sites:
Philly
Tampa
Austin
I've got a trunk from each to the other.
However, I would like to limit the total outgoing for site to site or LCR calls at Philly to 8 SIP trunk calls (dosen't matter if it is 8 to Tampa or Austin or a combo). I don't want to artificially limit either site either. Either should be able to use all 8 if they are available.
If the limit is reached, it should go out the PSTN. (For PSTN calls).
This is kind of Gatekeeper-ish functions.
There is theoretically a way

There is theoretically a way to do this within the trunk configuration (set max channels), although I haven't tested it. I would venture to guess it might work, although I can't give you a definitive answer.
Then set your outbound route to fail-over to the other trunks after the sip trunk fails. So theoretically, you'll hit capacity (8), then route out to the other trunk.

I understand the max trunks. I'll restate what I'm looking for:
The problem is that I have 2 trunks out of Philly: One to Tampa, one to Austin. I need to be able to control the TOTAL number of calls as an aggregate of the two to a maximum of 8. I need to be able to set both trunks to a max of "8", but only allow the total of both the trunks to be a total of "8".
The actual application is WAY more complex that these 3. this was just and example.
look at openser. It'll do

look at openser. It'll do what you need, but keep in mind that you'll need to run your calls through it (which is a much better idea for larger installs anyway).
