Asterisk and a refer problem

Sunday, June 27, 2010 12:48

Hey there,

I’ve been working on Asterisk for a while,reading documents and stuff.Things were good so far,making calls between clients that are in the same network etc.
However,i’m stuck at some point and seems like noone knows anything about it,or they are too busy to respond,i don’t know (:

I’m trying to understand refer messages,and there is nothing complicated as far as i experienced,except the fact that i don’t have any idea if Asterisk can send refer messages through a proxy server or not ? ..

The question is simple actually,but since i’m not an expert on this subject hence it’s likely for me to say things that does not sound logical,i’m gonna try to explain my question a bit..

Assume that i have an Asterisk server and number of clients connected to that.

GWC

Proxy Server

Asterisk

Users

While A and B users are talking to each other if B decides to refer A to another user let’s say C ;
If A-B and C are both in the same network,there is no problem.
But what if C is in another VPN.
Can asterisk send refer messages to the proxy to find where C is,or is there no way to do that ?

Actually i’m not hoping to find a solution or something,i’m willing to solve the problem myself if there is ANY problem.. :)
The point is,i didn’t have a chance to experiment this and not sure what happens when you try to refer outside.
My mentors(in where i’m doing my summer training) are promising to let me test it soon.But i’m still trying to see if i can find any answers sooner..

By the way..
Linux really ROCKS ! :)
