Okay, in my scenario it's like this: SIP or MGCP phone (mixed env.) -> Asterisk box -> IAX -> Asterisk box -> PSTN or other Asterisk box We notice users complaining of the fact that the remote end (PSTN) complained about audio drops, while the local user keeps hearing everything. I am not entirely sure if it is just that direction, because I hear noticeable crackles during the call from my (user) end too. This appears to happen especially when the asterisk boxes involved have a few calls happening, when its nice and quiet on the box, things seem ok. This kind of thing is not or hardly noticable when calling yourself, which makes diagnosis difficult. I've discussed this with other people on the list, and we notice the following: IP links are _not_ congested and latency is very stable, so we are not looking at a network issue. Others have observed that changing the protocol from IAX2 to SIP is a good workaround. I have not yet been able to confirm this because we are tied to Asterisk-stable which does not yet have a very useable SIP dialling format. It's very hard to get a good handle on this issue, because it pretty much requires a multihomed production box to work with :-( Florian _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
