Load Balance Trunks
Hi All, Please help me the following 2 issues. 1- I have 100 Trunks from my SIP Provider. My provider restricts me to send only 120 minutes call duration per Trunk per each day. This means around 30 calls per Trunk per day with an ACD of 3 minutes. Please help me how to configure this if it is possible? 2- I need to send P-Preferred-Identity<sip:xxxxxxxxx@domain.com> in SIP header for each Trunk while dialing out to provider. Please help how to configure this. Thanks in Advance. Rgrds-----------Abid SaleemTechnical Manager NGNTerminus Technologies

You can use: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_distributor OR, a more precise way.. scrape your CDRs and then query them before making calls. Or, have a lua script that picks a random one from the list that a cron updates every 30 minutes to use slightly less resources.
2- I need to send P-Preferred-Identity<sip:xxxxxxxxx@domain.com> in SIP header for each Trunk while dialing out to provider. Please help how to configure this. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Variable_sip_cid_type has some info on using PID. You can use "sofia profile external siptrace on" to see your SIP messages from FS to debug.

Can't you find another provider with no such ... limitations ? You can do what Avi told you, or you can write your own piece of LUA script which would check in a DB which trunk to use, and then would bridge using this trunk, and will update the DB after hangup to add the call duration of the last call to the total amount for trunk X and current day (that would have to be done with the hangup_hook thingy, probably).

bridge {sip_cid_type=none,sip_h_P-Preferred-Identity=XXXXXXX}sofia/..... -> I am sure of this one or bridge {sip_cid_type=pid}sofia/.... -> never tested
Thanks in Advance.

Dear David, Thanks for answer. This is the only provider choice I have. Also I am not good at programming, so can you help me writing such a script that can do this please.

How does the provider notify you that each trunk has used its allotted time? -MC On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 8:54 AM, Abid Saleem <abid_freeswitch@live.com>wrote:

Hi Micheal, Avi and All, Sorry for a little late response as I was away. I have seen quite a few questions from you guys, so I am answering them in one email as below. 1- How does the provider notify you that each trunk has used its allotted time?Abid -> They have some counter in their IMS network to count on mins per trunk per day and they inform us by email.2- Are these trunks inbound only?Abid -> No. All these are Outbound Trunks. We just use them to send outgoing calls to our provider. 3- What happens when a call extends more than 120 mins on a trunk, would the call be disconnected?Abid -> The call is not disconnected right away but they send us a notification the next day. There is no real-time disconnection. 4- And then no more calls that day on that trunk?Abid -> Calls do not stop connecting immediately but they keep going. Currently their notification process is manual not automatic blocking. Please help me if you can. Thanks.

I think this might be a bit too involved for mailing list. At this point I would recommend consulting@freeswitch.org to see if there is a professional who can assist you. -MC On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 8:21 AM, Abid Saleem <abid_freeswitch@live.com>wrote:

I realize this is late, but... There are so many ways to solve this. My approach? Use mod_lcr to define your trunks, mod_lcr will load balance (well choose random order at each "cost" level). use mod_nibblebill to keep track of your "account" for each trunk. Have a cron job at midnight that resets your "balance". When the trunk hits 0 it'll disconnect any active calls and any new calls will not complete on trunks that have a 0 balance.
