RE: [asterisk-users] Problem: 2 second silence at the beginning ofmostcalls

[Mike]

I _had_ canreinvite=yes, before I read your post.  My production environement though cannot handle reinvites (all phones are behind different NATs, too messy). So I've set those to canreinvite=no. 

 

Unfortunately, it's not making a difference.  I still get the 1-2 seconds silence at the beginning of my calls.  My Asterisk server is not behind a NAT, so in theory it should work flawlessly.  Also, the latency between my LAN and my Asterisk server is about 10ms, very stable.

 

I am trying to figure it out with Ethereal (first thing I did) but I'm not sure what to look for.

I was wondering whether you have canreinvite=yes on those phones, and that the audio between the phones is working, but not between the Asterisk server and the phones - perhaps an Ethereal trace from your Hub might help?

I have the following setup in my test lab (which reflects very much my production installation, just on a smaller scale)

 

Asterisk server ------------- Internet -------------- Home router (Linksys) ---------------Hub ----------------> Polycom 501 (Phone A)

                                                                                                                           |-------------------> Polycom 501 (Phone B)

 

 

All calls go through my asterisk server, even if its from one Polycom to the other. If I dial from phone A to phone B, audio doesnt get passed for the first 1-2 seconds.  I end up saying "hello? hello? hello?" and eventually I heard something.  It makes for a bad user experience.

 

What can be the problem? I imagine the NAT isnt the problem, or there would be no audio at all.  My Asterisk is running 1.2.4, and my Polycom phones at running bootrom 3.2.2 and SIP 2.0.1 (fairly recent).
