+ Issues with DTMF triggered attended transfers.
+
+ Issue 0017999
+ 1) A calls B. B answers.
+ 2) B using DTMF dial *2 (code in features.conf for attended transfer).
+ 3) A hears MOH. B dial number C
+ 4) C ringing. A hears MOH.
+ 5) B hangup. A still hears MOH. C ringing.
+ 6) A hangup. C still ringing until "atxfernoanswertimeout" expires.
+ For v1.4 C will ring forever until C answers the dead line. (Issue
+ 0017096)
+
+ Problem: When A and B hangup, C is still ringing.
+
+ Issue 0018395
+ SIP call limit of B is 1
+ 1. A call B, B answered
+ 2. B *2(atxfer) call C
+ 3. B hangup, C ringing
+ 4. Timeout waiting for C to answer
+ 5. Recall to B fails because B has reached its call limit.
+
+ Because B reached its call limit, it cannot do anything until the
+ transfer
+ it started completes.
+
+ Issue 0017273
+ Same scenario as issue 18395 but party B is an FXS port. Party B
+ cannot
+ do anything until the transfer it started completes. If B goes back
+ off
+ hook before C answers, B hears ringback instead of the expected
+ dialtone.
+
+ **********
+ Note for the issue 0017273 and 0018395 fix:
+
+ DTMF attended transfer works within the channel bridge. Unfortunately,
+ when either party A or B in the channel bridge hangs up, that channel
+ is
+ not completely hung up until the transfer completes. This is a real
+ problem depending upon the channel technology involved.
+
+ For chan_dahdi, the channel is crippled until the hangup is complete.
+ Either the channel is not useable (analog) or the protocol disconnect
+ messages are held up (PRI/BRI/SS7) and the media is not released.
+
+ For chan_sip, a call limit of one is going to block that endpoint from
+ any
+ further calls until the hangup is complete.
+
+ For party A this is a minor problem. The party A channel will only be
+ in
+ this condition while party B is dialing and when party B and C are
+ conferring. The conversation between party B and C is expected to be a
+ short one. Party B is either asking a question of party C or
+ announcing
+ party A. Also party A does not have much incentive to hangup at this
+ point.
+
+ For party B this can be a major problem during a blonde transfer. (A
+ blonde transfer is our term for an attended transfer that is converted
+ into a blind transfer. :)) Party B could be the operator. When party B
+ hangs up, he assumes that he is out of the original call entirely. The
+ party B channel will be in this condition while party C is ringing,
+ while
+ attempting to recall party B, and while waiting between call attempts.
+
+ WARNING:
+ The ATXFER_NULL_TECH conditional is a hack to fix the problem. It will
+ replace the party B channel technology with a NULL channel driver to
+ complete hanging up the party B channel technology. The consequences
+ of
+ this code is that the 'h' extension will not be able to access any
+ channel
+ technology specific information like SIP statistics for the call.
+
+ ATXFER_NULL_TECH is not defined by default.
