[Asterisk-biz] 3rd Party Call Control using Parlay

[eric hernaez]

I posted this message to the asterisk-dev que but have not received any feedback.  

Hopefully someone on this list will share some insight.



There have been a lot of posts on this forum regarding the implementation of 
a 3rd party call control API, none of which seem to have taken root.

My company - telic.net is interested in funding the development of a 
module  that will implement the Parlay Multi Party Call Control service 
(Part 4, sub-part 3 of the Parlay 4.1 spec), thereby allowing a Parlay 
call control application to provide call control instructions to 
asterisk sessions in real time.  See http://www.parlay.org/specs/index.asp

Having a Parlay call control module would allow any 3rd party application 
developed to the Parlay spec to "control" an asterisk call session.  
This means that developers could create applications using an industry "standard"
in addition to the current asterisk call manager interface.  It also means that 
existing a applications  (eg.  calling card apps, PBX apps, messaging apps)
that have been created for other switching platforms (mostly from the 
TDM and mobile worlds) could immediately leverage the power of asterisk as well. 

The Parlay Group is an open multi-vendor consortium formed to develop 
open technology-independent application programming interfaces (APIs) 
enabling: technology, Internet and eBusiness companies, independent 
software vendors (ISVs), software developers, network device vendors and 
providers, service bureaus, application service providers (ASPs), 
application suppliers, and large and small enterprises to develop 
applications and technology solutions that operate across multiple 
networking platform environments.  For more information see www.parlay.org.

We are open to either retaining a consultant to perform this work (if we 
can find one that has the requisite experience) or offering a bounty to 
the first contributor to come up with something that works. 

I would appreciate getting suggestions from the list about the best way to 
approach this.
