[App_rpt-users] Echolink Updates

[Bryan D. Boyle]

The db connection to echolink servers is not done in real time.  So, if a user fires up their desktop or smartdevice application and immediately attempts to connect, they will not be seen as authorized.  Wait 10 minutes or so, and it will work direct as the changed database gets polled.  

As you've noticed, if they connect via a proxy, which by definition are more persistent and thus more likely to be in the loaded database at the node end, they will be able to connect almost immediately, since the authentication is done via the proxy, with the credential apparently passed through to the asterisk node.

The echolink channel software is a compromise to connect to a legacy network that has had little to no development or improvements since its introduction, IMHO.  It should not be seen as equivalent in operation to the native Windows-based server.

So it is not a networking isue, user that use a public echolink proxy conect every time (cause the proxy dont change IP most of the time and are in the DB from the start)
