RE: [Bayonne-devel] Bayonne Globalcall TASKFAIL and TRUNK_CALL_FAILURE

[Julien Chavanton]

I have made a few modification to globalcall drivers to handle TASKFAIL more efficiently

 

I always reset the port when there is a TASKFAIL because anyway when there is a TASKFAIL the call is lost and most of the time the TASKFAIL is caused by short call

Or abandon calls.

 

This is producing positive results.

 

The only difficulty was to keep bayonne state sync with Globalcall state because RESETLINEDEV is not the normal state transition.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

I keep an eye on Bayonne 2 evolution; it would be interesting for me to help with the Globalcall Drivers in Bayonne 2.

 

Something positive about Globalcall is that Intel is moving to HMP host media processing  “Voip  library optimized for Xeon CPU”.

And this may be the best performance Voip solution available due to the integration in the Xeon CPU internal instructions.

 

If they succeed Globalcall should be almost compatible with HMP, and bayonne could be HMP enabled without to much work.

However HMP is commercial I think it is 10$ a port and it may be too much for a software solution.

Subject: [Bayonne-devel] Bayonne Globalcall TASKFAIL and TRUNK_CALL_FAILURE

 

Hi David,

 

I am looking to modify TRUNK_CALL_FAILURE in bayonne globalcall since this is currently handled as a disconnection.

It was not that bad but most of the time this is not enough.

 

And we loose port, only when there is a TASKFAIL that is really caused by the Dialogic drivers.

 

The main source of TASKFAIL is abandon calls and short calls the Dialogic drivers are not capable of handling this automatically and this result in TASKFAIL

 

The only problem I think is that the script may be left attached and the next call will fail to attach.

 

Here is what I have in mind:

 

globalcall/driver.cpp

case GCEV_TASKFAIL

            event.id = TRUNK_CALL_FAILURE;

            trunk->postEvent(&event);

            gc_ResetLineDev(linedev, EV_ASYNC);

            break;           

 

globalcall/trunk.cpp

case TRUNK_CALL_FAILURE:

                // We need to prepare Bayonne for recovery of next call

                Trunk::detach();

               

                if(join)

                        Part();

                if(tgi.pid)

                        ::kill(tgi.pid, SIGHUP);

                if(thread)

                        thread->stop();

                Trunk::flags.dsp = DSP_MODE_INACTIVE;
