[Asterisk-Users] An interesting call path observation..

[WipeOut]

This is not really a problem just something I noticed in my testing..

When two or more Asterisk servers are connected by IAX2 trunks it does 
not make use of any "shortest path" type system.. (maybe this is still 
planned somwhere down the line, but may come in handy to those who have 
multi asterisk installations)

Here is the setup..

UA1--- Asterisk1----[IAX2 Trunk]---Asterisk2---UA2
                   |
                UA3

If I have a call between UA1 and UA2 and I transfer the call from UA2 to 
UA3 the result is that the voice path is like this..

UA1---Asterisk1---Asterisk2---Asterisk1---UA3

Asterisk does not work out that UA1 and UA3 are local and so does not 
create a shortest path link between the two end points..

Anyway, Like I said not really a major problem but will cause more 
bandwith to be used up and if you are running at max could cause a problem..

Later..
