Summary:                    [patch] OOH323 Incoming and Outgoing Calls Fail

Description: 
1. Upgraded to Asterisk 1.8.1.1 from Asterisk 1.6.2.15.

2. All outgoing calls started to fail.

May213,

We are facing two (2) separate issues.

1. SonicWall end-point dropping H.323 traffic as not H.323 compliant. All
other devices but Asterisk work fine with the enforcement activated.
Asterisk version 1.6.2.15 worked fine as well. The implementation coming
with 1.8.x does not pass the test, and the traffic is dropped as a result.
2. "Default TCP Connection Timeout" is a global SonicWall setting
applicable to all connections, it is not specific to Avaya. I can force it
to 10, 15 minutes, etc. That will mean that the call will be dropped at
that time. On top of that it is insecure.

The bottom line there is some H.323 in-compliance and there are no keep
alive messages to keep the established TCP connection on. It would be nice
to fix both, but keep-alive for a lengthy TCP connection is a must.

Thank you,
Vladimir
