[Asterisk-Dev] Call authentication in Asterisk

[Aram Ter-Martirosyan]

	Thank you for your help.  It will be interesting to know how many one-stage
and how many two-stage prepaid calls can you handle in a single box?
Also Can you have multiple routes to the same destination in Asterisk (are
you able to do LCR routing - or route through another provider if the firs
choice is not able to terminate the call for some reason?

	Thanks,

Yes, some. Check the wiki.

- The asterisk database, variables, DBget/DBput/DBdel etc. (not very
flexible)
- app_authenticate with text files/asterisk database (not very extensible)
- Custom AGI applications (not very scalable)
- app_prepaid (see wiki)
- Your application here :-)

I do, on a daily basis and with decent (for Greece) call volumes. I do
both one-stage and two-stage dialling, and, having had experience from
other (commercial and quite expensive) platforms, I can say I'm more
than satisfied. The system has been implemented in a fairly awkward
fashion (Perl/AGI) but works like a charm if you leave scalability
aside. I intend to move the whole setup to asterisk applications, and
release as soon as it is somewhat stable.
