[asterisk-dev] Media TimeOut for SIP and IAX Trunk

[bilal ghayyad]

Dear All;

Big thanks for the kind help and nice answers I got.

But I have one case need to know if it the hangup will
be done successfully: 

If there is an IAX trunk between two Asterisk
machines, and if the call was initiated by the first
Asterisk Box to the second Asterisk box via that IAS
trunk, and if the Internet connection with the first
Asterisk become down (disconnected), in that case:

Will the hangup will be applied on the IAX at the
other Asterisk Box (destination), and if the call was
implemented via the Zap Channel, then the Zap Channel
will be free as the hangup will close the call?

Your kindly help is highly appreciated.

Regards
Bilal

That is absolutely correct.  The call will be dropped
once the first  
full frame is not acknowledged after some period of
time.
