One possible explanation for the relatively high number of packets to unknown port count is a natural one If one side sends a BYE message through, OpenSER will terminate the RTPProxy session causing the sockets for the session to be closed It could take several hundred (or more) milliseconds before the endpoint receives the BYE message and actually stops sending RTP data, during this time they are going to be sending their RTP data to a port that no longer has any open sockets
This would cause that counter to increase, but it is entirely natural given the way that RTP proxying and SIP work (and would have no negative effects, besides a bunch of ICMP port unreachables being sent out) Ronald Voermans wrote: > Maksym, > > Sorry to bother you once more with something that has apparently nothing to > do with RTPProxy.
