Hello list,

I need to know about Asterisk's friendly nature with RTCP. I've phones
which support RTCP and they connect to the outer world via multiple
carriers. In one of my recent packet traces I've observed that the
caller initiated a call with rtcp string in SDP while for the same
call dialling our from Asterisk to the carrier has no RTCP string in SDP !
Can anyone please tell why is this so! or if there is anything I can do
to make RTCPs flow through the asterisk server !
I've asterisk 1.6.2.20 in production.

It is not mandatory to signal anything related to RTCP in the SDP. RTCP is implicitly handled on the next port up from the port being used for RTP; the signaling in SDP is only needed if the RTCP is *not* going to be on the next port up.

RTCP will never *flow through* Asterisk, as Asterisk is terminating both RTP flows and thus is an endpoint for both of them.

Do you have an actual problem you are trying to resolve, or are you just asking questions about RTCP?
