Hi,

I have just upgraded Freeswitch from svn revision 12432 to 13544. I am using 32bit CentOS 5.3, "make current" command completes successfully without any errors but when i start freeswitch it take considerable time (roughly 90 - 120 seconds) to start up. During this time no message is display on console. Once successfully started, it works fine. However, this initial delay is really annoying. Is there anyway to reduce/remove this delay?
Thank you.

As I understand it, a new ‘feature’ was added over the weekend to resolve NAT. If you’re firewall is not allowing ICMP then FS waits until it times out. At this time there is no option to disable it.

Actually Brain mentioned that you can comment out switch_nat_init(); in switch_core.c

I had to upgrade again svn revision to use this switch, but it works.

Thank you.

You shouldn't have to use the switch anymore. That is unless you just wanna skip that check.

I do understand the importance of NAT, i just want to know where it sends ICMP ping (refer to NiK reply below) to compute NAT type? Right now i am enhancing a few FS modules for a specific business model. Once it is done and fully tested, i would put it in production, where i have to take care of NAT issues as well. So, if i know its NAT detection mechanism, it would be easier for me to configure it properly during production deployment.

Also if my employer approves, i would like to share my customization (fully or partially) with FS community. How can i get a developer account? What else is required to become an official FS developer?

Thank you.
