[asterisk-users] packet counts: twice as high on one leg?

2013-06-20 Thread Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Hi all, I have two phones that I've been comparing (different manufacturers). To debug call quality issues on one of them, I've been using calls from the phone to our main DID, so 3 SIP sessions exist (phone asterisk then asterisk provider, and the providerasterisk for the DID). The bad

There's one thing on my list of things to check, that could be relevant for your problem, too. Packet count is one thing, transferred data is another one. If one phone uses smaller UDP packages, then the packet count should increase in reciprocally. I have read some comments on the net that
