[asterisk-users] how asterisk knows which context forward the call to?

[Ioan Indreias]

I hope I'm not wrong but I think the problem is related to the fact
that on incoming calls Asterisk find the peers based on their IP and
not on their IP+PORT. Thus, if you have several extensions on the same
devices (=> one single IP with different SIP ports), the last entry
into your sip.conf file is taken into consideration => all calls are
sent to the context of that last extension.

You could check this if you configure a higher verbose/debug level
(like more than 10) and check into the Asterisk logs the information
displayed by chan_sip.c

Incoming SIP Connections
===================
When Asterisk receives an incoming SIP call, the SIP Channel Module
 + first tries to find a [user] section matching the caller name
(From: username),
 + then tries to find a [peer] section matching the caller's IP address.
 + If no matching user or peer is found, the call is sent to the
context defined in the [general] section of sip.conf.
