Worked example
Read dial peer 200 This is the carrier dial peer. Where will CUBE send the outbound INVITE?
- Read session protocol.
- Read session target.
- Name the address.
Vendor menus, ports, and license names change. Confirm before relying on a sentence that is not an RFC.
Fault
Outbound INVITEs leave CUBE toward 203.0.113.10 and the carrier never sees the call.
ipv4:203.0.113.10 is Alice, not 192.0.2.40.
