We recommend enabling compact headers in your external profile in order to reduce packet fragmentation chances.Simply add the param
enable-compact-headers=trueinto your freeswitch/conf/sip_profiles/external.xml config file.Posted by technophreak at May 11, 2017 12:15

Call Recording On/Off Switch - work only with 1 bind, you can not make several binds - after enable|disable record and switch context we got new bindings with new realm.

Life Cycle of a Call
<details> <summary>3 comments</summary>
In my understanding, this is Life Cycle for a Channel
Posted by livem at Jul 28, 2020 01:57
I think the title is appropriate because the flow chart does shows the life cycles of both legs of a call, from start to finish, which is basically a call. In CS_NEW, the A leg channel is created, and in CS_EXECUTE (depending on the dialplan instructions) a B leg channel will also be created. Could be wrong.

Call Legs
<details> <summary>1 comment</summary>
When you see different values when you run show calls and show channels from the CLI, it is because show calls only counts bridged callsNot quite true. A call that is ringing shows up multiple times in "show calls", once for the inbound channel and once each for all the outbound channels.

Command Line Interface (fs_cli)

See this JIRA for an issue I faced: FS-7718 -Authenticate to see issue details I was not able to connect to freeswitch on localhost with fs_cli until I copied the example conf file from
/usr/src/freeswitchto/usr/loca/freeswitch.Maybe future releases won't require this but I'm writing here so at least I know how to resolve tfs_cli connection issues. Posted by jungleboogie at Jun 23, 2015 22:55

I have my own TURN and STUN serversVerto communicator comes with configured TURN.How i can use my servers ?
Posted by arsm at Apr 29, 2016 16:16
You more than likely don't need them when talking to FreeSWITCH on the public internet. TURN will gain you very little unless you're doing peer to peer media and need to hairpin thru a TURN server. Posted by brian at Feb 06, 2017 09:10
