That’s what I do, there’s another way?  We put customer ATAs on private IPs so 
it wouldn’t work if traffic bypassed our server.

Is there a configuration parameter on the SIP trunk that tells it to send RTP 
traffic directly to the endpoint?

We also have a multisite business customer that uses a hosted VoIP service 
(Star2Star) with an appliance at each site, we give each appliance its own 
public IP and tag traffic to those IPs.

I've been cheating up until this point.  If you force the audio to be bridged 
through your own server then you can tag all the traffic that goes to and from 
that server.  It doesn't seem to make a huge difference versus having RTP go 
straight to the carrier.  If you're not transcoding then the added CPU usage is 
minimal.  Faxing seems to work better if I'm not bridging the audio, but why am 
I faxing anyway, right?


  I tried all kinds of stuff tonight, none were any good. I wonder if there's a 
way on MT to snoop SIP messages and look for the SIP contact IPs and mark 
those. Seems tricky. And I R no smrt enuf.

    Packet size and rate is pretty consistent right? Just a thought...

      Speaking of DSCP and carriers zeroing it in the middle, I have some VoIP 
Innovations trunks. I know where the SIP messages are coming from, so I can 
mangle a DSCP value back onto those packets at ingress. But the RTP traffic 
comes from all over the freakin place, tons of different source address, never 
the same. I've asked if they could provide a list and pretty much got a no.

      Anybody have any ideas? Any way for a MT to identify an RTP stream and 
then dynamically add a mangle rule to change the DSCP value? My MT script-fu is 
not strong.
