Description:There is code in libpri to send the caller name and possibly other data in a Facility IE in addition to the Display IE in the SETUP message. When operating as pri_net, libpri adds the facility IE to a pending FACILITY message rather than to the setup message, which I am told is correct. However, in many (most?) cases, the FACILITY message never gets sent.


****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

The code to send the facility message from already queued APDUs is the function q931_facility(). It is called in a number of places explicitly (EECT and its dms100 counterpart in trunk, and AOC; it is also called when a SETUP ACKNOWLEDGE message is received. However, SETUP ACKNOWLEDGE is only sent, according to the Q.931 standard, to "indicate that call establishment has been initiated, but additional information may be required" (Q.931 05/98, p.23). As caller name is merely desired but not required the lack of it would not normally trigger a SETUP ACKNOWLEDGE message. Instead, the next message received is CALL PROCEEDING.

In testing against an upstream 5ESS switch running in National ISDN 2 mode, the FACILITY message with caller name is sent by the 5ESS in response to (or immediately after, in any case) the CALL PROCEEDING message. (The 5ESS behavior may actually be asynchronous as the telco waits for the "dip" to complete to get the caller name.) We needed libpri to do the same thing when operating as the network end, as the Avaya IP Office product expects caller name only in a facility IE within a FACILITY message. Patching libpri to send any pending FACILITY message in response to a CALL PROCEEDING message fixed our issues presenting caller name to the Avaya PBX. The enclosed patches accomplish this change for libpri 1.2.3 (our setup) and svn trunk; the only difference between the two is the line numbers.

I'll commit this, but it needs to be disclaimed before I can do anything with it.
