Re: [OpenSER-Users] FreeRADIUS-CDRTool Prepaid Connector 1.1 Released

Hi Dan, Thanks for the all the info! Ok, question on this part: 3. Accounting it is bit more accurate (you have the session total duration inside the accounting packets), so radius will be no longer responsible of calculating the session durations from timestaps. To interoperate with CDRTool you still need the data in the radacct table formatted as per normal by Freeradius, right? By accouting packet are you referring to the radius accouting packets? If you say Yate puts session times in the accouting packets how does this all stick together? Does OpenSER still do the radius accouting part, or do I need to configure Yate to do it instead? thanks a lot!

Since 1.3.0 the dialog module should be able to timeout the calls, in theory you should no longer need extra software like Yate. are doing some sort of "Carrier business", for  the following reasons:1. It creates two different legs for your call (in and out) same as Cisco does, and hides one side from the other (eg. removes the via headers and any revealing ip information inside SDP - so your partners should not know where the traffic comes from). accurate (you have the session total duration inside the accounting packets), so radius will be no longer responsible of calculating the session durations from timestaps. rtp processing.So basically what the connector does (as specified in the documentation), for each call which is authorized by radius, the connector will ask permission from cdrtool. If permission is granted, it will return in a avp to openser the maximum duration allowed for the call (timeout value) plus credit available, for the case of special uas able to display that. about call disconnection therefore clearing the lock and debiting the balance inside cdrtool. The rtp stream has nothing to do with this scenario, so you don't need to touch your NAT support configuration, it's all in the signaling. ________________________________________________ Message sent using UK Grid Webmail 2.7.9
