Coming Soon: 3CX WebMeeting on Your Local Network or Cloud

[NickD_3CX]

Hello @NickD_3CX ,
I think I found the culprit in my case - I saw ICMP "need fragmentation" packets at a terminating gateway in Frankfurt directed to the problematic 3cx MCUs. I think some of them set "don't fragment" flags in their SSL server hello packets, which causes trouble with our smaller MTUs down the path due to encapsulation.
Will need to investigate further.One thing I noticed today:
Started a web meeting and looked at the connection stats page. It says at the top:
Server IP: 10.132.0.4:48025
(It's new to me to see a private IP here.)

And below:
Server-Info
Host: mcu-wmr-eu-00016.3cx.net
IP: 34.140.8.40
Land: BE Belgium


This IP 34.140.8.40 is not among those listed in the DNS record qos.3cx.net. Has there been another change to this mechanism?

It seems like you are on to something with the fragmentation, yes.

Regarding this IP you found, indeed it is not currently in the qos.3cx.net resolution. Thisi s because a few days ago we made a mechanism that automatically scales our WebMeeting infrastructure. For the time being these new machines are not updated in time in the qos.3cx.net FQDN, but we are working to make it so that it is updated when these changes happen.

OK, thank you. These kinds of things make me yearn for the self-hosted MCU...

@A.Takacs Yes, we are working on it, we have already made very good progress. Cant give an ETA though but its not forgotten... I would hope earlier in 2022...

Please.. MCU on premise... Urgent

So 2 years ago the release date was a few weeks away...

Can we get any update on this?

It seems it passed undetected, but V18 moved video conferencing on premise by default. I found this blog post (in Italian, sorry) saying now the video conferencing resides on the installation.

MCU is still not on premise. It is the VC management that moved to the local installation with V18. It was officially announced by 3cx here as well.

Hello 3CX company.

Please can you give us a status about this feature (MCU on premise).
I understand it is not a priority and it is difficult to release.
But we need a clear statement about it : it is better to know that the feature will not be released than waiting, waiting and waiting...

Regards,

No we dont give exact time lines for features. The feature is coming for sure but we cant give a date. Its a matter of months.

 

[sebevil]

Ok thanks a lot for your quick feedback. Keep in mind that it is difficult of each IT department manager to give TOP management roadmap if we are not able to provide a plan...
Today, I prefer to say that the feature will not be available even if I have to switch to an other solution. The risk is too high to say soon...
Regards,

@sebevil Up to you of course but its just a few months away.

Hello, is there a current status?
We introduced the 3CX and are currently encountering major problems as well.
A majority of the employees do not want to use the video conferences due to quality problems.

@mholtrup I have sent you a message, please let me know more details as we have no reports of reliability issues. Will follow up directly with you
