Dave,

QAs far as I remember it, it goes like this... if your inside phone is *only* G711-alaw and your trunk (SIP or IAX) is *only G711-ulaw that at session negotiation (call setup) Asterisk will woprk out that it has to remain "in the loop" and transcode.

If you run-up asterisk and bother to watch the start-up debug messages then it shows you the relative costs (in terms of CPU utilisation per call) for the various transcoding between codecs. From recollection G.711-Alaw to G.711-Ulaw is relatively inexpensive with a cost of "1" ...


Regards


Mike

Greeting Everyone,

I don't have access to Asterisk box right now or I'd check this myself...

If my client phone uses g.711 (alaw) and my outbound trunk leaving
asterisk uses g.711 (ulaw), will asterisk have to transcode? If so is
the processing overhead much?

regards,
Dave
