Al and Alex, Thank you for your input, Sorry TDM is not the option at this time :( . Everything has been great until last 2-3 days. Machine loads is not the issue, we have multiple asterisk server to share the load. Not much change in traffic.
Now it been narrowed down to networking and we are trying to find out where the issue is? In our Firewall or SP's router. Does any one know of any tool to simulate RTP traffic. Its pain to find out the bad calls out of hundreds of calls. BTW, What should be right value for tos in sip.conf. We have tos=0x68 Dont remember how did I come up with this value. I found this http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+sip+tos tos=0x10 low delaytos=0x08 high throughput tos=0x04 high reliabilitytos=0x02 ECT bit set tos=0x01 CE bit set -Jai On Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 4:58 AM, Al Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > USE TDM Circuits - Voice Quality Good > > Alex Balashov wrote: > > Jai Rangi wrote: > > > > > >> All, > >> > >> I am having audio quality problem in some calls (1-2%) on asterisk.
