[Asterisk-Users] 911 and lawsuits

[Doug Shubert]

I would ask the same question about zero SLA Broadband Internet providers.

How could an Asterisk installers determine if the Broadband latency reached a
level
were the IP network was not available to a VoIP subscriber at time of a 911
call.

this is a log clip of a  SIP UA connecting across a Cable modem.

Jan  5 17:48:57 NOTICE[-1127097424]: File chan_sip.c, Line 4682
(handle_response): Peer '6400' is now TOO LAGGED!
Jan  5 17:49:07 NOTICE[-1127097424]: File chan_sip.c, Line 4677
(handle_response): Peer '6400' is now REACHABLE!
Jan  5 17:51:09 NOTICE[-1127097424]: File chan_sip.c, Line 4682
(handle_response): Peer '6400' is now TOO LAGGED!
Jan  5 17:51:19 NOTICE[-1127097424]: File chan_sip.c, Line 4677
(handle_response): Peer '6400' is now REACHABLE!
Jan  5 17:59:20 NOTICE[-1127097424]: File chan_sip.c, Line 4682
(handle_response): Peer '6400' is now TOO LAGGED!
Jan  5 17:59:30 NOTICE[-1127097424]: File chan_sip.c, Line 4677
(handle_response): Peer '6400' is now REACHABLE!

This subscriber would have a "Best Effort" 911 service.
