Telecube Whirlpool Offer - Part 4 part 9

    Interesting that one of my services via ISS satellite and RSP SkyMesh, has survived the whole time.

    The others with Telstra ... not so lucky.

    I can confirm my experience is that call forwarding from the control panel appears to be working, however registered extensions do not receive calls routed via either standard geographic DID's or 1300 numbers.

    No extensions are registering here yet either. However things seem to be improving: as compared to before where incoming calls would die and the back-end was unreachable, now I can actually log-in to the back-end, and the DIDs appear to be ringing (from the perspective of the caller obviously, nothing is happening on our end) � eventually going to voicemail which then gets forwarded to our email as usual.

    All extensions and inbound calls have been offline for 4+ hours at this point. Made for quite a Monday!

    Update

    Please change your registration address to 103.193.167.89

    This is a temporary measure until we can get the DDoS protection in place.

    We are still getting attacked on the sip urls.

    Edit: This is only for those who can't register to their extensions. If you are connected to sip.telecube... and registering ok then leave the settings as it is. You will be connected through one of the peering networks.

    Registration needs only to be done once, but you set the renewal time for it to be refreshed in the extension section on your device under SIP Expiry with the desired number of seconds.

    This is to the whole forum: I love telecube but sometimes things do go south.
    Any recommendations for a secondary standby VOIP provider to be used as a backup? Ideally something with minimal or $0 ongoing costs that we only pay per call... (I'm probably asking for too much).
    It's not going to bring back the fallen over DIDs but at least people in the office will be able to make outgoing calls.
    Any recommendations would be welcome.

  • 2016-May-16, 3:58 pm
    James Bertschik

    By definition a DDOS (distributed denial of service attack) is not from one person/origin as the name suggests, which is part of the problem and issue with successfully mitigating such attacks, so therefore selectively white listing ACL would not do anything here.

    It really can be seen as a reverse domino effect, whereby the concentration of traffic/request/flooding is targeted to an exposed endpoint (by virtue of the service), taking that system offline. Mitigation attempts would then be passed up the chain, but if the transit providers up the chain can't handle the inbound traffic, or effectively filter/route it, they need to stop advertising the addresses or range being attacked (null route) � hence Telecube would then drop off the air.

    It will be interesting (maybe not the right word to describe this) to see how this crappy game of cat-and-mouse continues :(

    All the best John & Team.

    We're back too...

    As suggested above, it would be great if Telecube had a status page like : http://status.status.io/ or even a Twitter feed for alerts.

    It solves that first step of troubleshooting the voip outage, discovering if is a internal network / isp or voip provider outage.

    Although, customers can setup their own monitoring of this or other SAAS products, by using Pingdom or Statuscake etc, to monitor the Sip server.

    Yeah, I can attest to the porting process with Telecube being great. Once the port is accepted, they pre-load the numbers into their system so you can pre-configure your extensions/queues/etc... while you wait for the port to finish.

    On the day of the port you shouldn't really see anything more than 5 � 10 mins of downtime when it's being switched.

    Thanks for that. Sure, I wish I could help somehow as well. Just as DDoS is distributed, it would be nice if there was a way to somehow contribute to the mitigation of it in a distributed way to stop the a/h's.

    there are more appropriate forums to talk about backup providers, i think its bad manners to do so here.
    If one wants a stable/reliable provder as a backup, wouldnt you choose that provider in the first place :)

  • EasyBB

    trillu writes...

    at least people in the office will be able to make outgoing calls.

    For an office it is a must you have at least one backup VSP. We use two, one TC and the other one is a global provider which gives us a lot of flexibility. All of our DIDs are with TC which unfortunately means no incoming calls in an event like today's.

  • John.M

    Update

    We've support from upstream which is keeping the attack under control and we're implementing a permanent DDoS protection solution which should be in place over the next 48 � 72 hours.

    It not surprising that they are blocking IP from outside australia, given the DDOS.

    Prolly a bit OT. I used to use SipMe as my backup VoIP provider for years, but too many people did the same thing! They went broke. Factortel tried to capitalise on the SipMe demise, I cannot too strongly NOT recommend them.
    FWIW. I'm currently using Maxo and PennyTel as backups, just hope that the PennyTel plans migrate to MNF without too much agro.
    HTH, G20.

  • pedrov

    I noticed my registrations still hadn't happened automatically after the issues today (both extensions were "Failed" still, some hours later). So, I logged in to the portal to see if I could troubleshoot, and generated a password on one of the extensions and updated the registration on my Gigaset to match, and it connected straight away on that extension. I repeated the same on the other extension, and a minute later both were happily registered and working again.
    It might be worth trying, if people are still having issues connecting.

    Also, given todays issues, I have set my incoming DID as Line Hunt (rather than queue). Normally my Gigaset voicemail will collect the call well before diverting, but atleast if it loses registration for some reason, hopefully the DID will route to my mobile instead. My thinking is that it will be a fallback position, without having to try to gain access to the TC portal on the fly.

  • WireGuy

    I believe that we are all very fortunate to be with a provider who reacts so quickly to resolve a problem of this magnitude and is already working to strengthen the platform against future disruptions.

    Maybe the best way we can work to ensure greater stability and redundancy is to simply give John more business- his commitment and honest, open attitude deserve it.

    I've just returned to the office to try and get going for tomorrow and power cycled my whole network.

    All phones are set to register to .net.au and are all configured the same except for the username and password.

    Really weird � only 1 out of the 6 handsets has successfully registered. All the others report "Failed � No response"

    Any help?

    I got in to the web site, but it shows all my extensions as 'inactive' of which they aren't, and weren't when I first logged in.

    And only 2 mins prior showed me as off-line, of which I had registration, but now flashing red as off-line.
    Not bothered at this time of day.

    John & the team sure are doing a top job trying to get it all sorted out.

    Things seem to be recovering slowly now. Perhaps a change was made early this morning. Just started freaking out when I spent all night testing things to a working point after copping flack from my superiors, and returning this morning to find I'm back to square one.

    Main thing is to get to the portal where I can change routing to a mobile if all else fails which is definitely working now.

    WTH, my extensions are registering with an OK response, and incoming calls to DIDs appear to be ringing for callers but no traffic from Telecube is notifying my server about incoming calls!
    So once again incoming call traffic is not working.

    Edit: The extension registrations that occurred this morning around 6:45am are all showing as online in the portal, but the extensions I have manually refreshed registration this hour are showing as offline in the portal.
    However in all cases my PBX is getting an OK response to registrations with everything shown as registered on my server, but all incoming calls on all extensions are just ringing out as phantom calls with no communication to my PBX.

    Good instructions here:

    http://wiki.telecube.com.au/doku.php?id=voip:line-hunt-hunt-group

    Line hunting (or hunt group) is the method of distributing phone calls from a single telephone number to a group of several phone lines. Specifically, it refers to the process or algorithm used to select which line will receive the call in a sequential manner (e.g. 1st number then to 2nd number, then to 3rd number, and so on). This gives you an option to use not only VOIP extensions but external numbers such as your mobile or standard home service as well.

    This feature allows calls to be forwarded to another line if the first line is unable to pick up the call.

    To add a hunt group, log in to your account. Go to the 'Services' area, click on 'Add New' tab. Select 'LineHunt (Hunt Group)' option.

    Configure its settings:

    Input Label Name. Wait for the system to create the Hunt Group. Then, go to 'Services'. Click on 'Manage' next to the hunt group name.
    Select extensions or numbers to hunt and associate a voicemail if desired.
    Input desired Ring Timeout.

    Possible Sequences:

    Digital Extensions > Mobile Number
    Digital Extension > Mobile Number > Voicemail
    Call Queue > Mobile Number > Voicemail

    Finally you will need to go into "manage" option for your DID and select Line Hunt at "Profile Type" input box.

    We're moving ahead with DDoS Protection with Micron21, hopefully it should be in place by the end of the day.

    In the meantime we'll keep trying to shuffle traffic around the attacks and you should be able to route incoming calls to mobiles or fixed lines.

    Apologies again to those affected, I expect to have it resolved through the day.

  • very_itchy

    Having trouble with outgoing calls as well. Due to Telecube SIP servers giving a false OK registration outgoing calls hang doing nothing for 30+ secs then Telecube servers accept the call and you hear the call ringing but the call never rings the destination at all!
    Phantom ringing now for both incoming and outgoing calls.

    John, I would prefer if your servers rejected registration until the problem is fixed rather than give a false registration that screws up our outgoing call routing and has incoming calls ring out rather than be rejected.

    Understand entirely about this being an issue that is beyond Telecube's control, but it would be great if there was communication of the issues outside of Whirlpool (only just thought to check here after the phone line didn't work).

    Agree 100% � the last place I thought to go looking was Part 4 of the Telecube Whirlpool offer thread.

    The support phone lines are just ringing out, surely there could have been a recorded message explaining the outage and no one was available to answer calls. And what about a 'current service status' page on the Telecube website ? Surely it wouldn't bee hard to get some traffic light style monitoring that customers could refer to when there phones aren't ringing.

    At the very least there should be a seperate 'Telecube outage' or a 'Telecube issues' thread here on Whirlpool rather than throwing all of this banter in a service offer thread.

    In my IVR I am diverting all options to mobile phones, but the mobile phone doesnt receive the call
    it ends up on the mobile phone users voicemail.

    1. the caller hears the phone ringing. so obviosulty the 'network' is not placing the call.

    You may find this is a "whirlpool" issue. Perhaps providers are not allowed to start or have multiple threads.

    For me personally, it was the first place I looked because I always firstly assume that other people are having the same issues and move on from there.

  • Curious_Mind

    Also agree that there needs to be better support communication. Also experienced no answer on support line, no email response on Murray's or the support email address. I have a large customer base on TC and I look like a goose when I have no information or explanation or ETA on the situation and have to trawl Whirlpool for answers! I'm a huge fan/supporter of TC, but managing customer expectations with good communication is definitely something that I would like improved. Agree with a Status page that is kept up to date. Look forward to having the current issues resolved. Keep up the good work John!

    One of the serious side affects of a small service provider outage is that its a catch 22, their support area gets overloaded with enquiries but its the same people that handle the communications, and in this case the same people are doing the fixing.

    If it was telstra, then sure you can get through to support, who will tell you its broken, and give no details nor an eta, because they dont have any info, and are under instructions not to annoy the higher levels of support, who are busy trying to solve the problem. So despite the ability to speak to someone, you are no better off.

    The best thing we can all do right now, to get this solved quicker, is dont overload them with enquiries, nags and feedback, Save that for later. Also now is not the right time to work on their communication platform.

    When you add an extension in the portal, it defaults to sip.telecube.com.au so it looks that is the one TC would like us to use, although .net should still work also.

    Before that incoming calls were ringing out without notifying extensions and outgoing calls were hanging then indicating the destination was ringing when it wasn't. I'd rather have registration show as failing than have calls appear to ring out when they haven't rung at all.
