i have an issue with my calls being made via ASTERISK PBX running on linux CENTOS 6.2.

The use case is that a call is triggered from /var/spool/asterisk/outbound/

The caller is dialed The dialplan executes :

Answer()
Wait(1.5)
Set(Timestamp=$<someformat)
Record(.../<filename>.wav,0,0,y)
HangUp()

My SIP trunk provder is nextiva. What i have noticed from the wireshark trace is that nextiva sends a SIP: BYE request just before the call is dropped.

I attack the wireshark trace for reference:

In cases where the BYE is being sent from downstream like that, I always open a ticket with my provider and inquire as to why they sent the BYE. Very often it's another ULC (underlying carrier) they'll need to open the ticket with in order to resolve it. Sometimes it's even further downstream than that. Provide your CallIDs and PCAPs and it shouldn't be an issue for them to track it down.

  • Hi Matt! Thanks yes i opened a ticket. I have since rectified the issue. The problem is my SIP provider ( Nextiva) said that they had issues with juniper fire walls, we were using a juniper fire wall provided by my ISP provider. We did a work around the juniper fire wall now everything works as it should. Thanks for re affirming my thoughts that it could not be a config error on my end! – Qumar Jul 23 '13 at 07:55
