<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Two asterisk boards in two asterisk boxes are connected back-to-back with crossover cables.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">T400P (box1, pri_net) creates a flow of calls, TE410P (box2, pri_cpe) takes them. Cables are OK.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Boxes are powerful. SMP is in place. Interrupts are distributed among CPUs.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are 2 TE410Ps in the box2. Spans 1-4 in box1 are connected to spans 5-8 in box2.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The carrier T1 is in span 1 of box2 and provides clocking.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">All we want is to be able to have a consistent flow of 92 calls. All we can do is 75-80 calls.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are D-Channels downs and ups on the spans where new calls are sent. There are frame rejections and retransmissions.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are read failures on D-Channel fds with 'Unknown error 500'. There are PRI events 6 and 8 (HDLC-related).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It gets worse as the total amount of calls goes up.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The log (from asterisk start to the test finish is attached). Would greatly appreciate any advice on how to fight this.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you.</FONT>
