Yeah this is so weird that packet captures are really needed. A working call and a non-working call, along with what IP ranges are what. There are *tremendous* numbers of RTP packets, of course. Are those captures really going to be useful? That's the problem. If they *are* going to be

Not that many RTP packets are required. It's just important to see the SIP signaling and where traffic is coming/going from with the network topology in mind. That way a clearer picture of where it's saying media should go to, where it's sending media from, etc can be gleamed. Once that

The way you had things configured Asterisk was prioritizing GSM over ULAW, so until Jitsi started responding it sent GSM. I thought I might have seen something like that in the packets, but it didn't look like it showed up in the SDP negotiations, so seemed peculiar to me. Unclear why this
