RE: EXPERIENCE ON USING GGNUGK TO LINK CISCO GATEWAYS

["maruna" <maruna@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

 

Thank you for this reply,

 

I have a Redhat Linux ES3 with postgresql 7.3.8, FreeRadius 1.0.5 (updated from cvs) and with gnugk 2.2.3…. and I run corrected my startup script in the init.d directory to run gnugk –rr (routed mode).

 

However, before testing the setup at all, the guy disagreed. And the call is just only sixty max simultaneous calls.

 

Any further technical clues that I can use to convince the guy will be appreciated.

 

Thank you

 

Goksie

Hi

 

the Cisco guy is absolutely right - working with cisco gateways strongly degrates voice quality *g*

In fact, it depends on what setup you choose and how much traffic you have to handle. So, yes, when you have a misconcepted setup, voice quality might degrade, but that's not a problem of the gatekeeper then.

For your needs i would use a gatekeeper in routed signaling mode and a storage backend for accouting. A setup like this should be able to handle a large volume of calls.

Can someone share his experience with me?

 

I have 3 Cisco (5300) gateways talking to each other now. However, I raised the idea of using gatekeeper to link them so that we can have a perfect billing of the gateways but I was told that this arrangement will degrade the voice quality by a guy who claims to be Cisco expert.

 

I need people to comment on this. All of them will be on public ip (routable).

 

Thank you
