27 \par What is a Channel?
28 A phone call through Asterisk consists of an incoming
29 connection and an outbound connection. Each call comes
30 in through a channel driver that supports one technology,
31 like SIP, DAHDI, IAX2 etc.
33 Each channel driver, technology, has it's own private
34 channel or dialog structure, that is technology-dependent.
35 Each private structure is "owned" by a generic Asterisk
36 channel structure, defined in channel.h and handled by
39 This happens when an incoming call arrives to Asterisk
40 -# Call arrives on a channel driver interface
41 -# Channel driver creates a PBX channel and starts a
42 pbx thread on the channel
43 -# The dial plan is executed
44 -# At this point at least two things can happen:
45 -# The call is answered by Asterisk and
46 Asterisk plays a media stream or reads media
47 -# The dial plan forces Asterisk to create an outbound
48 call somewhere with the dial (see \ref app_dial.c)
52 \par Bridging channels
53 If Asterisk dials out this happens:
54 -# Dial creates an outbound PBX channel and asks one of the
55 channel drivers to create a call
56 -# When the call is answered, Asterisk bridges the media streams
57 so the caller on the first channel can speak with the callee
58 on the second, outbound channel
59 -# In some cases where we have the same technology on both
60 channels and compatible codecs, a native bridge is used.
61 In a native bridge, the channel driver handles forwarding
62 of incoming audio to the outbound stream internally, without
63 sending audio frames through the PBX.
64 -# In SIP, theres an "external native bridge" where Asterisk
65 redirects the endpoint, so audio flows directly between the
66 caller's phone and the callee's phone. Signalling stays in
67 Asterisk in order to be able to provide a proper CDR record
71 \par Masquerading channels
72 In some cases, a channel can masquerade itself into another
73 channel. This happens frequently in call transfers, where
74 a new channel takes over a channel that is already involved
75 in a call. The new channel sneaks in and takes over the bridge
76 and the old channel, now a zombie, is hung up.

87 /*! \page Def_Bridge Asterisk Channel Bridges
89 In Asterisk, there's several media bridges.
91 The Core bridge handles two channels (a "phone call") and bridge
94 The conference bridge (meetme) handles several channels simultaneously
95 with the support of an external timer (DAHDI timer). This is used
96 not only by the Conference application (meetme) but also by the
97 page application and the SLA system introduced in 1.4.
98 The conference bridge does not handle video.
100 When two channels of the same type connect, the channel driver
101 or the media subsystem used by the channel driver (i.e. RTP)
102 can create a native bridge without sending media through the
105 Native bridging can be disabled by a number of reasons,
106 like DTMF being needed by the core or codecs being incompatible
107 so a transcoding module is needed.

802 * \page AstChannel ast_channel locking and reference tracking
804 * \par Creating Channels
805 * A channel is allocated using the ast_channel_alloc() function. When created, it is
806 * automatically inserted into the main channels hash table that keeps track of all
807 * active channels in the system. The hash key is based on the channel name. Because
808 * of this, if you want to change the name, you _must_ use ast_change_name(), not change
809 * the name field directly. When ast_channel_alloc() returns a channel pointer, you now
810 * hold a reference to that channel. In most cases this reference is given to ast_pbx_run().
812 * \par Channel Locking
813 * There is a lock associated with every ast_channel. It is allocated internally via astobj2.
814 * To lock or unlock a channel, you must use the ast_channel_lock() wrappers.
816 * Previously, before ast_channel was converted to astobj2, the channel lock was used in some
817 * additional ways that are no longer necessary. Before, the only way to ensure that a channel
818 * did not disappear out from under you if you were working with a channel outside of the channel
819 * thread that owns it, was to hold the channel lock. Now, that is no longer necessary.
820 * You simply must hold a reference to the channel to ensure it does not go away.
822 * The channel must be locked if you need to ensure that data that you reading from the channel
823 * does not change while you access it. Further, you must hold the channel lock if you are
824 * making a non-atomic change to channel data.
826 * \par Channel References
827 * There are multiple ways to get a reference to a channel. The first is that you hold a reference
828 * to a channel after creating it. The other ways involve using the channel search or the channel
829 * traversal APIs. These functions are the ast_channel_get_*() functions or ast_channel_iterator_*()
830 * functions. Once a reference is retrieved by one of these methods, you know that the channel will
831 * not go away. So, the channel should only get locked as needed for data access or modification.
832 * But, make sure that the reference gets released when you are done with it!
834 * There are different things you can do when you are done with a reference to a channel. The first
835 * is to simply release the reference using ast_channel_unref(). The other option is to call
836 * ast_channel_release(). This function is generally used where ast_channel_free() was used in
837 * the past. The release function releases a reference as well as ensures that the channel is no
838 * longer in the global channels container. That way, the channel will get destroyed as soon as any
839 * other pending references get released.
841 * \par Exceptions to the rules
842 * Even though ast_channel is reference counted, there are some places where pointers to an ast_channel
843 * get stored, but the reference count does not reflect it. The reason is mostly historical.
844 * The only places where this happens should be places where because of how the code works, we
845 * _know_ that the pointer to the channel will get removed before the channel goes away. The main
846 * example of this is in channel drivers. Channel drivers generally store a pointer to their owner
847 * ast_channel in their technology specific pvt struct. In this case, the channel drivers _know_
848 * that this pointer to the channel will be removed in time, because the channel's hangup callback
849 * gets called before the channel goes away.
