Hello,

I’d like share with you my tests about PJSIP channel with the aim of improving the functioning of the channel:

* Multi domain support not work correctly:
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26026
* Different context subscribe for each endpoint not possible:
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-25471
* BLF don’t work correctly on my tests with X-Lite, BRIA, JiTSI. Only
work partially with microsip but because this softphone use the same
SIP STACK (PJSIP). I test BLF with the latest Asterisk version and
latest FreePBX version. The problem is when a softphone is on the
phone on the other softphone appear off-line. On Jitsi not is
possible know if a Endpoints is or not online

The main idea of the new channel was working on a multi-domain environment, have more then one device registered with same credentials and have more stability.

Be Better still with Asterisk 1.11.X?

Regards

    For now, to my experience, it’s more future-proof compliant to use a prefix in the SIP username than multi-domain environment. Even if the multi-domain support was perfect in Asterisk, we tested some crappy SIP endpoints where in fact, even if you configure a domain name everywhere in the configuration, you have only IPs in SIP packets.

    We have that on production for our cloud plateform, it works pretty well and also simplify whitelabel handling. Moreover, if you have a good provisioning support, it will be invisible for your users.

    When I see the time needed to really use on production the SNI feature in SSL, and you have only 5 majors HTTP endpoints (aka Web browsers). In the SIP world, I’m not sure you can use multi domain except if you can force the SIP endpoints used by your clients.

    Since 13.9.1, we have a better experience of pjsip. Nevertheless, not yet massively used on production for now, we planned to migrate endpoint by endpoint to minimize the risk.

    Maybe you could use Asterisk 13 with chan_sip to start, it works pretty well and already think to support chan_pjsip in the same time. The benefit to think about that if one day you need to use an alternative channel like chan_iax2, it should be easier to implement for you.

  • I agree the multi-domain environment is a nice idea, but too many endpoints don’t properly support. We to use a prefix in the SIP username for multi-domain environments.

    Thanks Bryant
