FreePBX AVAHI Daemon Invalid Response Packet

scottalanmiller

Continuing an investigation from this thread: http://mangolassi.it/topic/5115/voip-one-way-audio-and-voice-drops

Getting tons and tons of this in the logs:

pbx avahi-daemon[981]: Invalid response packet from host x.x.x.x

Has anyone seen this before or have a good idea what would be causing this? Not sure if this is related to anything, first time scouring the logs on this box and there is a ton of these so want to check it out.

Looks like it might be nothing more than a known Avahi bug, maybe you can update to a later version?

That makes sense. This is a FreePBX install from FreePBX ISO as far as I can tell from looking at it and all files come from the Schmooze repos and it is causing it to be very out of date compared to standard CentOS 6. Might just be a red herring, Avahi is not related to Asterisk so I doubt that it is involved with call quality issues.

What is Avahi actually for? I've had to disable it on several linux boxes that are in domain.local setups...

I think it's like bonjour. Never used it though.

Local LAN discovery.

Wait, what? Does the FreePBX distro change what repos yum uses for base CentOS updates?

Yeah, it uses Schmooze repos instead of CentOS ones. I can change that, of course, but by default...
