 I have done some limited search on the MTU topic and it seems the MTU

 this case. (I have a report with this case at hand here:

 know how the choice if 1500 is made inside OPAL; if it is hardcoded it
 is probably a source of frame dropping in some case (and it happen
 probably in silence). Around 1400 seems more safe but it seems to not
 cover all cases.
 
 AFAIK a proper fix for this situation is to use a discovery mechanism
 for the MTU: fortunately this exist in RFC:
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4821

OPAL does not touch the MTU.

The MTU setting on a machine is an OS thing, not a user program thing.

It does not matter, even if your host has a 1500 MTU, the next hop in
the path can have a 1400 MTU (I agree this should be a rare case), thus
if you only take your host in account you'll be screwed.

e.g. the AOL ISP use a 1450 MTU:
MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) defines the largest data packet size you
can transmit in one go across a network. Any messages larger than the
MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. The industry
standard follows the principle that in order to transmit the largest
amount in one go, an MTU should be set to a high value, such as 1500.

However, the AOL Broadband network runs at an MTU of 1450. Many modem
routers have inbuilt auto-configurations where the hardware identifies
that the AOL Broadband traffic has an MTU of 1450 and dynamically
adjusts. If the modem router hardware does not have this facility, the
MTU setting can manually be changed on the computer.

 By default? If we use UDP by default, then we need either the MTU
 discover mechanism in the RFC, either to use a safer MTU value (1400
 seems a reasonable choice), because AFAIK UDP has no mechanism for
 fragmented packet and frames will be dropped silently if we are in the
 bad range (close to 1500). Or maybe use the fact frame are dropped to
 switch to TCP? Is there a way to know if frames has been dropped?

No because it is UDP = no feedback.
And the value indicating when to switch from udp to tcp is in the SIP
RFC. I think guessing the MTU is overly complex.

On the mid term, ekiga should fully switch to TCP, but I need to review
both teh RFC and the opal code to check routing is done correctly in
that case.

As I wrote on TCP bug, IPv4 does fragmentation (IPv6 does not).  No need
to worry about MTU other than the local one.  I can send my courses if
you wish :o)

The PDU1500 issue?

Here is a report from a Ubnutu user (I know, I should not trust blindly
a user, but i wont be able to test before tomorrow...):
No I hadn't installed any non-free codecs (not knowingly anyway).

I wanted to confirm this so I booted from clean live USB memory stick
image (Jaunty).
Selected ekiga for installation.
Synaptic informs that the following are required: libgsm1, libopal3.6.1,
libpt2.6.1, libpt2.6.1-plugins-alsa, libpt2.6.1-plugins-v4l2. (All of
these come from the Main repository).

Once above are installed: Ekiga has the same problem as described above
(PDU exceed 1500) and same solution as you describe above also works.

Out-of-the-box Audio codecs: G722, Speex(16kHz), PCMA, PCMU, G726-16,
G726-24, G726-32, G726-40, gsm, ms-gsm, Speex(8kHz).

Out-of-the-box Video codecs: h261, theora.

So, in answer to your question, only using default packages from Ubuntu
is sufficient for PDU to exceed 1500.

Do we need a workaround for this before a proper fix? (TCP support)

A workaround would be to switch off some codecs by default (for initial
installation), for ex. G726-24, G726-32, G726-40, gsm, ms-gsm,
Speex(8kHz).  What do you think?


Isn't that already the case ?

I need to check.

The default in Fedora certainly doesn't enable them by default and we
don't do anything with that sort of config so I assume its the
default.



That's what I thought. By default, only a few codecs are enabled.

TCP support.


Opal has the basic support for TCP, and has had for some time. To try it 
out, make sure you have a TCP listener on the same port as UDP listener 
(in fact, this is a requirement of the SIP RFC)


We've done basic testing and it seems to work, but I am sure there are 
situations where it fails


What is needed is more testing

The PDU1500 issue?

Here is a report from a Ubnutu user (I know, I should not trust blindly
a user, but i wont be able to test before tomorrow...):
No I hadn't installed any non-free codecs (not knowingly anyway).

I wanted to confirm this so I booted from clean live USB memory stick
image (Jaunty).
Selected ekiga for installation.
Synaptic informs that the following are required: libgsm1, libopal3.6.1,
libpt2.6.1, libpt2.6.1-plugins-alsa, libpt2.6.1-plugins-v4l2. (All of
these come from the Main repository).

Once above are installed: Ekiga has the same problem as described above
(PDU exceed 1500) and same solution as you describe above also works.

Out-of-the-box Audio codecs: G722, Speex(16kHz), PCMA, PCMU, G726-16,
G726-24, G726-32, G726-40, gsm, ms-gsm, Speex(8kHz).

Out-of-the-box Video codecs: h261, theora.

So, in answer to your question, only using default packages from Ubuntu
is sufficient for PDU to exceed 1500.

Do we need a workaround for this before a proper fix? (TCP support)


TCP support is the bug no 1 (in my opinion), but it is not for 3.2.5.

Once 3.2.5 is released, we will see the next release goals.

TCP support.


Opal has the basic support for TCP, and has had for some time. To try it 
out, make sure you have a TCP listener on the same port as UDP listener 
(in fact, this is a requirement of the SIP RFC)


We've done basic testing and it seems to work, but I am sure there are 


This is very great news!


situations where it fails

What is needed is more testing


How can we test?  How to create a TCP listener...?

The same way a UDP listener is created, but use the string

   tcp$ipaddr:port

instead of

   udp$ipaddr:port

A workaround would be to switch off some codecs by default (for initial 
installation), for ex. G726-24, G726-32, G726-40, gsm, ms-gsm, 
Speex(8kHz).  What do you think?

Isn't that already the case ?

 I need to check.

The default in Fedora certainly doesn't enable them by default and we
don't do anything with that sort of config so I assume its the
default.
