[Asterisk-Users] CDR of calls transferred via IAX[2]

[Brancaleoni Matteo]

Ciao lele.

that's a good question. Of course I don't know an answer (yet).
anyone does?
anyway, here's some comments:

nice, but that way we have to join 2 records for a real name... what
happens when the switch & gateway are 'very remote'

I would stay on that, but without adding another cdr field
(originalaccountcode), but simply, since we don't mind 'bout the
user as we authenticate from the switch statement, just get the
accountcode from the originating switch,so I agree with you.
Seems also the simplest way to do that.
I would add a sort of @switch in the accountcode, so my user 'caller'
will be added to the cdr (of the gateway) as 'caller@<switch_name>'
in order to be able to know that the user originated from a remote
machine. if the accountcode hasn't the @<swicth_name> part, means
that the user is local.

that means a connection back. I would discard that

of course, only my 2 cents ;)
