Hi,
the CLI show “Failed to lock path…” when I used SIPp to simulate concurrent calls at 4 calls/sec. Calls to voicemail were subsequently dropped. By lowering different options, the message can be removed and all calls were recorded. Wonder if this is a sign of overloading? Or are there any change(s) to be made to Asterisk or the OS?
I had compiled SIPp on Slackware 10.2 with “make pcapplay”. The following command:
./sipp -sn uac_pcap -nr -l 20 -s vm -r 4 -i 192.168.0.143 -p 5068 -m 20 -mp 8008 -mi 192.168.0.143 192.168.0.52 -trace_err
