In an effort to learn more about Asterisk/Allstar/App_rpt I built up a server out of some older hardware I had sitting around. I set up the package put together by Steve (N4IRS) located at: <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/wiki/X86-Debian-Bare-Metal-Install> <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/wiki/X86-Debian-Bare-Metal-Install> The install was pretty much hands off and nothing to indicate any problems. I edited the necessary files and have it up and running on my home network as a private node for testing. I have it setup using dahdi/pseudo at the moment until I get a USB Fob converted. I can connect to it with IAXRPT and Zoiper on an iPhone but that's where everything goes spiraling downward. As soon as either connects, asterisk plays the connect message, or at least tries to. It usually gets the words "Node, One, Five" out Ok but anything else starts to lag and stutter. Once it is through, it seems to settle down for a minute. When I transmit from either, audio is not passed to the other connected device. Sometimes, the courtesy tone will try to play. About 30 seconds after Tx'ing with Zoiper, it will throw up an error 18 (Request Timeout) and disconnect. Watching the Asterisk CLI I see: [Sep 28 23:08:28] WARNING[11839]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay 260, this delay -15364, threshold 10562, new offset 15364 [Sep 28 23:08:29] WARNING[11839]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -1221, this delay 33188, threshold 1000, new offset -17824 [Sep 28 23:08:29] WARNING[11897]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -599, this delay -34607, threshold 1000, new offset 16783 [Sep 28 23:08:29] WARNING[11834]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay 120, this delay 33929, threshold 1000, new offset -17146 [Sep 28 23:08:29] WARNING[11883]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -160, this delay -33988, threshold 1000, new offset 16842 [Sep 28 23:08:36] WARNING[11834]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -1086, this delay 4586, threshold 3374, new offset 12256 [Sep 28 23:08:41] WARNING[11840]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -5861, this delay 30088, threshold 6600, new offset -17832 [Sep 28 23:08:45] WARNING[11840]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -1914, this delay -32907, threshold 5032, new offset 15075 [Sep 28 23:08:47] WARNING[11835]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -821, this delay 31193, threshold 3084, new offset -16118 [Sep 28 23:08:49] WARNING[11834]: chan_iax2.c:921 jb_warning_output: Resyncing the jb. last_delay -1459, this delay -30527, threshold 4518, new offset 14409 [Sep 28 23:08:55] WARNING[11833]: chan_iax2.c:3101 __attempt_transmit: Max retries exceeded to host 10.115.55.101 on IAX2/iaxclient-6151 (type = 6, subclass = 2, ts=21099, seqno=8)
From the console, using the TOP command, CPU usage by Asterisk is never more than 1.8%. The PC is a Pentium IV 2.4GHz with 3 GB of RAM. The Motherboard is a fairly old though. It is an early P4. The Motherboard is a Soyo sy-p4vda. Local LAN is 100 Mbps on a Cisco switch and all devices are on the same subnet. Here is the CPU info:
