Hi,
I'm wondering what version of asterisk people use in production
environnement ?
on which distribution ?
And what is your setup like ?
We are actually running an AsteriskNow appliance with asterisk 1.4.18.1
and it's quite unstable.
We have ~30 IAX2 SoftPhones and encounter some "Avoiding IAX destroy
deadlock"
and now that we have added a Queue, it's worse than ever. The queue goes
stuck quite often
(agent are stuck in 'In use' state and if they logoff they can't log-in
till an asterisk restart).

I am personally a proponent of Asterisk 1.2.X as I see more and more
fatal bugs in the 1.4.X code come up on the lists as well as IAX2
bugs. I constantly hear "Asterisk 1.4.whatever is much better, but
the bugs coming out are not just unexpected behavior that one could
live with, they are segfaults, system crashes, modules not getting
installed (Zaptel).
I use SIP since I have seen quite a few issues with IAX2 that were
solved by simply switching to SIP.
The above two yield solid systems under heavy load for me. OS is not
so important I do not believe. I have some running FC8 and more
running CentOS, both rock solid. I think the general consensus on OS
is use what you are most familiar with.
While these may not be popular opinions, I still ask, what does
SwitchVox use? What do some of the guys around here that setup large
systems use? Is ABE even using 1.4 yet? All I see in the ABE release
notes is 1.2 although I have heard that ABE should be running 1.4
"Very Soon" many many moons ago
http://www.digium.com/en/docs/ABE/README . So either Digium doesn't
trust 1.4 enough to use it for ABE or the README is out of date.
Thanks,

There were some really unstable Asterisk releases in the 1.4 branch. I personally use 1.4.13 or 1.4.15 in production. Every single time I tried 1.4.16 or higher I had problems.

I use 1.4.18 with no problems. We have quite a few users(125 total
between branches), but the call volume at the most has been around 15
active calls at a time. |

Any IAX2 phone or mostly SIP ?
Do you use Call Queues ?
We have less user than that, less concurrent call but quite a few
crash/deadlocks |

I would classify that as "Light to Medium Call Volume" or "SMB".
Let me clarify what I consider "High Call Volume". ~400 simultaneous
calls, all SIP or 95 on a box doing quad PRI to SIP gateway duty.
15k+ calls a day lasting an average of fifteen minutes.
Thanks,
Steve Totaro |

Have you reported these issues on the bugtracker?

Not sure what Asterisk version they use but I saw (iirc) a presentation
on their website that they run switchvox on top of Fedora Core 6. FC6
has been end-of-line for a long, long time...

Yes, ABE version C (in release for several months) is using the 1.4 codebase.

The first clue should be that the copyright listed in that file is from 2006.
Yes, it's very much out of date.

Mostly SIP, some of my clients have queues and everything is working fine by now.

Try SIP only if you can and report back. I think you will confirm
what is pretty much a silent consensus (even among Digium Devs).

Well, we're running a cluster of about 15 boxes or so with Slack 10 or
12 and 1.2.17(?, either 14 or 17) and VICIdial. Yeah, you'd call it
production. 
It runs, knock on Formica-laminated particle board, pretty well.

Does "In Release" equate to "In the Wild" or "In Many Production
Installations" ?

Sorry: we're running zap channels at all the edges (Digium and Sangoma
quad-T cards, primarily), and IAX2 in the middle.
