Hello!

I am wondering how the differences between G729, G729a, and G729b
effect call bridging and server interoperability.  For example, can
one server use the G729 code with another server that uses the G729A
codec?

Also, which version is Asterisk set up to use?

Thanks!
Elliot
There is no compatibility issue between basic G.729 and G.729A. That is why they use the same SDP code. In practice it is rare to see a G.729 codec in real world use. They are almost all G.729A. G.729 sounds better, but G.729A uses half the CPU power. Cheaper normally wins over better in the real world.

G.729 annex B is an add on, providing VAD features. It may be used with G.729 or G.729A. A separate entry in the SDP says whether this option is supported.
