Hi Andrew, I'm working with a couple of people looking into and actively ordering IPEX. The majority of it looks straightforward. On 9 February 2015 at 06:45, Andrew Keil <andrew.keil@visytel.com> wrote:
Ken,
Thanks again for your quick response.
The specifics are fairly straight-forward, they will 99% of the time accept calls from the PSTN to UK premium rate numbers (which terminate on the SIP trunks (FreeSWITCH)). The rest of the time (1%) the will call out to various PSTN numbers, where there will be an inbound leg and outbound leg conferenced together.
The aim (initially) is to replace ISDN E1 trunks with SIP trunks.

Depending on what specifically hey are doing, I may use a proxy (like OpenSIPS) for load balancing but more likely would just connect directly. Really depends on what specifics are happening.

Ken,
Yes I guessed as much. I do not believe it will be a big issue since BT would want my UK client on their network (since they will be switching over from C&W (now Vodafone) and wish to win their business). Also we are talking 1000+ concurrent calls which is more of an incentive (since my client is a premium rate service provider in the UK with TV based traffic).
When I followed the link sent through from Joshua ( http://blog.aeriandi.com/2012/10/08/bt-interoperability-testing-a-guide-to-j...) and had a brief read, I noticed that they used a pair of SBC’s in front of a pair of FreeSWITCH servers. I am hoping that I will not need to use a separate SBC and just use the pair of FreeSWITCH servers, since FreeSWITCH seems to do most of what an SBC does (if not more). Do you have an opinion on whether an SBC is necessary when connecting to a carrier’s SIP trunk(s)?
Regards,
Andrew

Keep in mind some carriers uses these “interop tests” as yet another hurdle to keep the smaller players at bay... Level3 used to do things like this to the level it could take 4 to 8 weeks to clear the testing required for their interop testing which was really just RFC’d SIP

Thanks for this link. I will study this and respond with some feedback.

To FreeSWITCH users,
Re - British Telecom (BT) SIP test list before allowing a server on their IP Telephony network.
I wondered if someone can take a quick look at this test case spreadsheet from BT in the UK to see if a standard FreeSWITCH installation (current production release) will cover off all these test cases. I assume the answer is yes! However I thought that I would ask in advance.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Keil

I've briefly looked into this sort of stuff before, and I found http://blog.aeriandi.com/2012/10/08/bt-interoperability-testing-a-guide-to-j...
Does that help?
