Attached is a sip trace (from QA) for a call hold ( with MOH) and
resume operation which results in no voice path after resume. Problem
reported is that after the call resume there is no media path. Looking
at the pcap, the ITSP sends G729 whereas sipx sends the ITSP G711 (
asymmetric meida ).

Note that on the re-INVITE (with SDP), sipX sends the ITSP all
supported codecs (including G729 - I need to filter this out but that
is a different problem ). The phone selects G711 and ITSP sends in
G711 in the period of time following Frame 46. This is legal ( the
ITSP answered with G711 and G729)  However, it appears that the
asymmetry of the media stream causes the observed problem of no speech
path. So there appears to be an ITSP issue at hand.

The asymmetric codec problem can be resolved again by sipxbridge
restricting all re-INVITEs responses to  to that codec negotiated for
the FIRST call setup. This seems quite restrictive however and clearly
the RFC allows for multiple codecs in the response to that re-INVITE
but there is no speech path. So I am wondering if I should implement a
single codec restriction on the re-INVITE response to avoid the
situation.

Thanks in advance for your help.
