<p>The story behind the latest posting from Rob Vella KK9ROB,
regarding the "ASL Registration Code" post. Posted here to be a
matter of record. <br>
</p>
<p>--------------------------<br>
</p>
<p>The concept for the new registration was originally the idea of
Jason Kendall VE3YCA, however Jason was not able to spare cycles
to work on the new code as his job and life keeps him gainfully
employed. Around September 2020, when Rob joined in a
discussion on development with several of us, registration came
up as well as the desire to replace the Asterisk 13 based
registration servers, since they were still running a hack that
was done to chan_iax by me (with Tom Hayward KD7LXL doing a
minor initial mod that led to the start of the complete hack).<br>
</p>
<p>On 11 September 2020, Rob sent me a DM asking about ASL
registration and said "I've done a fair bit of socket
programming for a work project. You think it would be a
worthwhile venture to try to code an IAX server? I was thinking
about it earlier. Sniffed some packets, got a familiar with the
registration flow. It's only a few packets that are sent and
looks pretty straightforward."</p>
<p>"It should be fairly straightforward to do so. There's only 5-7
total packets to do a registration"</p>
<p> I told him he could and that there was an RFC for the
protocol.</p>
<p>Then on 13 September from Rob:<br>
"won't be able to make the morning meeting but wanted to let you
know that I was successful in getting an IAX server setup. have
the full registration flow working (without verifying password,
just the packets) through UDP. going to work more on it tomorrow
to get is authenticating against real data."<br>
<br>

<p>"just need to do some refactoring. assuming that it's going to
hit an HTTP endpoint for registration, as Jason expressed, so i
setup something really basic to just authenticate or reject.
i'll be implementing that packet tomorrow."<br>
<br>
"so far it's super fast. less than 15ms to do a full
registration. excited to see where it goes."</p>
<p>(of course there is more, like on 15 September the DM about "i
implemented client functionality, so as a validation measure, i
could literally forward the reaffic back out to a real reg
server" or the reply by me asking if this was in pyton "no. its
in NodeJS. send the hate. lol"<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> Jason and Rob did quite a bit of testing on systems that were
setup just for this purpose. Rob even requested and was
provided the packet captures from the live registration servers
and said it helped a lot.<br>
</p>
<p>Rob's front end was talking to the back end API that Jason
wrote in Python. In fact, both pieces of code still exist in
the now pttlink registration servers and were running on the ASL
servers. Unfortunately, there was a bug in the IAXjs code that
had to be addressed, and Jason was able to do a work around to
fix it.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>And for the record: Jason actually published an updated version
of the Python code about 3-4 months ago here: <a
