[asterisk-users] Limit Number Of Simultaneous Outbound SIP Calls

[Danny Nicholas]

Here's one way - put your dial command into a macro that polls via a "core
show channels" and only dials when the count is below X.   Even using a
"slow language" like PHP or PERL, an AGI call/return would not add as much
time to the dial process as PSTN delay does.

Example:

 

-          exten => 100,1,noop(check before dialing)

-          exten => 100,n,AGI(howmanycalls.agi)

-          exten => 100,n,Gotoif(${ACTIVECALLS} < 10?dial:congest)

-          exten => 100,n(congest),play(congest)

-          exten => 100,n,hangup

-          exten => 100,n(dial),Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}

-          exten => 100,n,hangup

Subject: [asterisk-users] Limit Number Of Simultaneous Outbound SIP Calls

 

Is there a way to limit the number of simultaneous outbound SIP calls made
by Asterisk? We've tried using the 'Asterisk sip call-limit' parameter but
that doesn't seem to be working and one of our engineers says that parameter
has been depreciated.

Thanks,
