[Asterisk-Users] Teliax is DOWN

[Chris Coulthurst]

What about some sort of asterisk-level "Ping" app that could let one
server with the app, ping the other, and check for status info, and if
it doesn't like what it sees (or doesn't see anything), it would
consider that channel dead?

I know I'm just passing broad strokes here, but I think the idea is
sound enough...

|The problem with attempting to do the above is 'what does "down" mean?'
| - no registration?
| - can't connect?
| - connects & process calls, but no ringing?
| - fast busy?
|
|Based on past experience with multiple itsp's, it seems the majority
|of the problems aren't as simple as can't connect. In the US at least,
|it would seem like some form of accurate call progress detection
|with timeouts would be needed in * before the above could be addressed.
