[asterisk-users] Zaptel channel reservation

[C F]

Why would you want to do that? let Asterisk (using zap/g in app_dial)
take care of which channel are used for outbound but assign all the
channels to that g, reject any incoming calls if there are already 7
incoming active calls with a congestion PRI_CAUSE.  Do the same for 20
outgoing active calls. That should solve your problem, that is if your
problem is that you don't want to allow more than 20 outbound calls,
and 7 inbound calls.

There should be no need to reserve channels, in fact you could put in
much better logic to accomplish what you want efficiently. For example
although in general you want 20 outbound calls, but if currently 7
channels are still available (because there are no incoming active
calls) you might want to allow up to x additional channels for
outbound, until at least 3 incoming channels are active (or whatever
the number). The same goes the other way around. Which you wont be
able to accomplish by reserving channels. In fact by reserving
channels, you might lose lots of incoming calls, while the outbound
channels have never reached peak, which basically makes this whole
thing a waste of money (on the unused channels).
