Good afteroon all,
First of all: thanks for everybody who is willing to think this through with me:
I'm having some issues regarding call quality between some calls. Let me try to
explain the situation first
We have a Asterisk 11.16 server based on the Xivo distribution. There are 2
servers running in cluster (Active Passive), both virtual with the following
config:
Quadcore CPU
8 GB ram
About 50Gb of diskspace which is used for about 15%
(Let's call this Asterisk cluster 001 for clarity)
The Asterisk server has a trunk to a cisco call manager which is on the same
site/LAN, and 4 trunks to other Asterisk servers (same distribution but lower
specs, name Asterisk cluster 002 and 003). These are all sites in our WAN but
they are geographically divided and connected via MPLS links. Each affiliate
has a specific number range XXXYYY where XXX stands for the affiliate and YYY
is the extension of the users.
(Average bandwidth = 4Mpbs which has to be shared by applications. QoS allows
that VoIP is prioritized)
Now, the actual problem:
I've set my main codecs to G711 a-law, G7 222 (for cisco call manager) and GSM
as last. The GSM is set as primary for those trunks which don't have 4 Mbps of
bandwidth available.
In most cases, trunk calling results in bad quality of conversations (a-law is
chosen as codec) but or it is jitterish, or one party does not hear the other
party (complete silence) It could be that the second time they call, everything
is ok.

So a little ASCII map about the geographical setup:
Aff 1: [Asterisk cluster 001] <-- LAN trunk --> Cisco call manager
|
MPLS connection 20Mbps
|
|------> MPLS Cloud <---> MPLS
connection 2Mbps --> [Asterisk cluster 002]
| <----> MPLS connection 4 Mbps --> [Asterisk
cluster 003]
Calls between Cluster 001 <---> cluster 002 or 003 are potentially of bad
quality (sometimes ok but most of all jiterish)
Calls between Cluster 002 <---> cluster 003 are good
The bandwidth if cluster001 ( 20 Mbps) is used about 50% with peaks to 75%.
I've aslo actived the jitter buffer with a buffer of 200ms but this didn't seem
to do any good.
Does anybody have some hints how I can troubleshoot this?
Note: the Cisco calls to the other affiliaters over the same WAN don't have
issues but these are based on SCCP protocol.
Thanks in advance
Kristof
