Re: [asterisk-users] g729 codec over SIP Trunk between CCM and Asterisk

[Onur Cem Çelebi]

Thanks for reply Leandro.

We have installed g279 codec in Asterisk box.Even if not so, there is no
problem outgoing (from Asterisk to CCM) calls. But after i searched  the
issue, i figured out that CCM 4.x does not let g729 codec to pass through
over SIP trunk. This is limited only in CCM. If we changed codec g729 into
g711u (ulaw) then communication over SIP trunk go on perfectly.

Because of CCM does not inject any packets encoded g729 over SIP trunk, i
am not able to debug it. But i have tried that i am able to force my SIP
phone suscribed Asterisk box to use g729 codec and get work successfully.

Have you checked if the problem is the license? Asterisk doesn't have a
free encoder/decoder for g729, only pass through is available. Try to debug
the SIP call to see if the capabilities don't match or just buy a $10
license from Digium (1 concurrent call).

Try disabling SELinux if you have it enabled (unless of course you need it).
I seem to remember there is certain compilation flags required (position
independent code, -fPIC?) to run with SELinux enabled, may be the
codec_g729a.so is not compiled properly to run under such circumstances?

If you only need it to be used as passthrough, you don't need any, just 
the format interpreter that comes with asterisk.

It is worth noting that if you have conference calls, you use the Page 
function or want to record calls, then you will need to install a codec 
(since in these situations the call is transcoded inside asterisk).

Re: [asterisk-users] G729 codec

[Jon Weisman]

asterisk does pass thru out of the box, there is nothing to install.

in your sip.conf

just add the following:

disallow=all
allow=g729


this will force the peer to use g729 and the end points will take care of the 
codec assuming both end points support g729 to begin with.

Asterisk 1.6.0 has not yet been released; you must be referring to
1.6.0-beta9.

That is because all the other builds (1.2, trunk, 1.6 betas, etc.) are
in the 'unsupported' directory.

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_g729/unsupported/asterisk-trunk/linux/

Although I see only v33 there... we seem to be running a bit behind.

I think show channels will tell you if issued during a call.  Show
translation will show that the codec is loaded at least.

If you purchased one license and are forcing that codec, then it makes sense
that you can only have one call.  If you install the g729.so that can be
found on the internet, it will allow you to place as many G729 calls as you
wish for testing.  After you are satisfied (or unsatisfied) you can purchase
more licenses (or not) to legally use G729 with as many simultaneous calls
as you buy licenses for.

When you are in a call, how many licenses are in use?

Could more than one license be in use during each call (a call recording 
app/ conferencing?).

Fernando,
I've used the official/legal G729 codec sold at www.digium.com in Athlon 
boxes w/ asterisk 1.4 without problems, have you tried this option ?

Well one of them should work fine ;) . I was not sure if it required .so
extension ( i guess it doesnt ) anyway hitting tab can autocomplete or
atleast give hints . Looks like he is loading wrong module bcoz asterisk
autoloads this on restart  if placed in proper directory with proper
permissions :) .

core2 is for Intel Core2 processors, not for AMD.

check to make sure the module is loaded with:

module show like codec_g729

If not, in CLI do the following

core set verbose 20
module load codec_g729-ast14-gcc4-glibc-athlon-sse.so

and see what it says.

Post the results if you are not sure.

are you sure that your carrier will accept g.729? Sometimes they don't 
accept under iax2 and do accept under sip... check your debug for more 
information about this specific error also - maybe it is something not 
related to your g.729 codec/license


codecs are allowed into your sip.conf or iax.conf?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] G729 codec problems

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

I think I sort of solved the problem.
It is related to Voipstunt provider. I tried it today with another
provider and all is fine. Well, I get some warnings from G729 like:
Jun 26 09:28:45 NOTICE[8440]: frame.c:179 __ast_smoother_feed:
Dropping extra frame of G.729 since we already have a VAD frame at the
end

Bu nothing like before. Use Voipstunt and I have the problem. It seems
that Voipstunt does use more than 1 lisence on a single call. Can
someone check/verify that?

Thanks,
Rudolf

Hmm, sorry about that. Thanks for the clarification.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] G729 codec problems

Hi,

I wonder if VoIP providers consume two licenses when one calls via them?
One license for my phone to the provider and one license when call is
passed to the recepient.

Is that possible?

Each channel needs TWO licenses, one for each way (I think).

Therefore buying a single license is pretty useless.

Or, could he be seeing an outstanding issue with counting (eg, start 
with 0 or 1)?


Seems like that might be the case. I've got about ten g729 licenses and 
never see any warning messages, but then again this is a small system 
and I don't think I could consume all of them if I tried.

If you are sure you are using only one device that needs the license, I 
would suggest to check out how it is communicating with Asterisk. Also, 
if you have enough time try using the g729 with another soft / IP phone 
and see if you get the same result.

I am not. I have one license and use i channel.
It seems to detect the fact there are no more channels left and keeps
warning me about it in case I want to use more.

It is fine, but the warning is constant. All you see on Asterisk
console is running warning message.

I reviewed the code for that module after reading your original message,
and confirmed that it will only generate that message if you try to
create and use more g729 transcoder channels than you have licenses for.

Do you have monitoring or anything else running on the channel that
might cause another transcoder path to be needed?

You can't make them stop except by not trying to use more channels than

[RumaTech]

Hi, all

Sorry, I was "out of action" for some time.

I am using Voipstnt to plae calls to USA/Canada and I bouhj 1 copy og G.729.
This was mainly to get one of the local Australians VoIP providers working.

Anyway, when I am trying to place calls to USA, it tries to use G.729 and I
am getting continuous warning:

20:56:20 WARNING[6620]: codec_g729.c:170 g729tolin_framein: Out of G.729 
Decoder Licenses!
20:56:20 WARNING[6620]: codec_g729.c:170 g729tolin_framein: Out of G.729

20:56:20 WARNING[6620]: codec_g729.c:170 g729tolin_framein: Out of G.729 
Decoder Licenses!
20:56:20 WARNING[6620]: codec_g729.c:170 g729tolin_framein: Out of G.729 
Decoder Licenses!


And it keeps running like that. Call usually come through OK. If i try to 
use "show g729" command, it shows that all codecs are in use. Well, this is 
fine, I am using one, but I do not want to see those warnings. Once is quite 
enough. Those continuos warnings make it impossible to se any other asterisk 
output. How does one turns them off?


Thanks,
Rudolf

[Gabriel Afana]

Type "show g729" in the CLI.  It should show something like this:

0/0 encoders/decoders of 1 licensed channels are currently in use

This will show you how many licensed channels you have and how many are in
use.  This might give you a starting point to figure out your problem.

Thanks for the education-

So there are limitations to what a specific codec can perform as far as 
platform it is running on?

Nope. The floating point vs fixed point thing is something that has no

It is a matter of the internal implementation of the codec, and the type 
of processors on which it can run. The only thing the ordinary user needs 
to know is that what is sent out and expected as input by these two codecs

Steve,

Any Cisco gateway support two G.729 variants.
They call them g729r8 and g729br8.

Those are versions with different bit packing. Cisco started using G.729 
before the packing order was standardised. They guessed it wrong. They 
had to change. :-)



So I guess that Cisco never implemented a reduced complexity version ?
Also as far as I understand there are 3 G.729 variants generaly used.
The first version (G.729), Annex A and Annex B.
Are they all compatible with each others ?

There are Annexes up to I. The earlier versions are fixed point, reduced 
complexity fixed point and floating point at 8kbps. These are all 
compatible. Later annexes add (if memory serves me correctly) silence 
suppression, assistance for packet loss concealment (some people say 
G.729 includes PLC. It doesn't. What it includes is some features to 
reduce how badly PLC works with it), the standard for bit packing, and 
additional bit rates of 6.4kbps and 11.8kbps.


Regards,
Steve

Do you know if Digium's implementation has any of those features?

Those are versions with different bit packing. Cisco started using 
G.729 before the packing order was standardised. They guessed it 
wrong. They had to change. :-)



So I guess that Cisco never implemented a reduced complexity version ?
Also as far as I understand there are 3 G.729 variants generaly used.
The first version (G.729), Annex A and Annex B.
Are they all compatible with each others ?

There are Annexes up to I. The earlier versions are fixed point, 
reduced complexity fixed point and floating point at 8kbps. These are 
all compatible. Later annexes add (if memory serves me correctly) 
silence suppression, assistance for packet loss concealment (some 
people say G.729 includes PLC. It doesn't. What it includes is some 
features to reduce how badly PLC works with it), the standard for bit 
packing, and additional bit rates of 6.4kbps and 11.8kbps.

No Fixed point calculation and floating point executions are diffrent
only in the way calculations are preformed. Floating point executions
use to take more time than useing fixed point calculations. With todays
math coprocessors especially with SSE floating point calculations
actually preform well on Intel x86 platform. Fixed point calculations
use a fixed decimal place to perform calculations with some performance
increases with less precision and accuracy.

Max

Actually, I believe Cisco uses G.729A, as they use TI chips.

The difference between G.729 and G.729A is Annex A spends less time 
looking for the optimal representation of the voice. G.729 and G.729A 
are completely compatible. Annex B adds silence suppression. I believe 
you need to support and negotiate annex B on both ends if you want to 
use it. I'm against silence suppression but that's just me. Annex C is 
the floating point version and obviously completely compatiable as well

Thank you for the enlightenment, that explains allot and it even makes 
sense.
So I take it that means that there is no other version as far as Asterisk 
is concerned; it only is designed to use G.729A, correct?
Do you know if the data rate,  kbps,  is a constant or does it fluctuate? 
For example I have heard with a Avaya design if no one was speaking it could 
get down to practically nothing while holding a line open. Does Asterisk 
have the ability to use less then 8 kbps with the G.729?

I'm also seeing this message streaming in the CLI. I think it 
might have something to do with endpoints misbehaving when 
they use VAD. Maybe sending a "start VAD" frame continously, 
instead of doing nothing or "restarting normal media".

In an appendix of the G711 spec there's a simple but good concealer for 
G711.  I wanted to implement it once Asterisk can take advantage.

use 2 SPA2000s using G.729 to commincate directly with each other 
(and having the same 10% packet loss), they sound pretty good.  We 
had been trying to figure why iLBCs loss concealment wasn't helping 
much.  I was never able to explain this until now:)

Thanks.
If you have 10% packet loss G.729 should sound awful. Are you really 
getting 10% packet loss in the G.729 case? If not, why does iLBC give 
that? Is the higher bit rate of iLBC pushing things over your 
available bandwidth limit? Seems pretty odd.

Bandwidth at the mentioned test server is 256MB and usage consumption 
was only 20-25kbps during the test.  Packet loss is at the ISP 
(confirmed by them).  I attribute the bad audio on iLBC due to Steve's 
explanation that Asterisk does not do any loss-concealment, but a direct 
call between 2 Sipuras does (no Asterisk involved).  The SPA manual 
clearly states that "The SPA applies an error concealment algorithm to 
alleviate the effects of packet loss".  We have tested this under many 
conditions of packet loss and the SPA sounds great up to about 10-12% 
packet loss.  Even at 20% loss you can carry a convesation that sounds 
like a mediocre cellphone call.

Steve

Hi

Here I am quoting Steve Davies:

"For IAX2, at least, Asterisk does not use the
lost-packet-concealment of any codec. This is because the
incoming frames "clock" Asterisk. For iLBC's lost packet
concealment to work, Asterisk would have to start calling
the decoder with a NULL at the point when the missing
packet should 
have arrived.

Can't say for sure for SIP, but I'd guess that its the
same.

Steve"

Getting back to loss concealment for a moment, it seems to me that we could
do something like the following:

* Every 20ms, call a scheduled function that inserts a "silent"
  voice frame into the stream.  The frame would be marked as
  "bogus" in some way and would be timestamped appropriately.

* The jitter buffer should then remove the "duplicate" voice
  frames, leaving a constant 20ms stream of either voice data
  or silence.

* The individual codecs should then either spot the frame's
  "bogus" marker and deal with it as a dropped frame or, if the
  codec can't do reconstruction, process the frame as silent audio.
  I expect that a silent frame would sound much the same as a
  dropped frame (with no reconstruction) anyway.

Does that sound feasible with the current framework?  My initial inspection
of the SIP/IAX2 code says that it should be, although it'd introduce a fair
amount of overhead.

I believe you're mistaken - G.729 works similar to iLBC and speex. 
iLBC works better as the packets are independent but G.729 still has a 
function for packet loss concealment.

prehaps have a look at http://www.speex.org/comparison.html
It would probably help if you understood what that table means. It is 
very misleading. G.729 has features to mitigate the awfulness of a lost 
packet. It has nothing to help conceal lost packets really well. What I 
said is correct. If you fudge over a lost G.711 packet it has less bad 
effect than fudging over a lost G.729 packet. There is no missing 
smoothing data, so at least the packets you have are handled properly.

Steve

Not at all.  :-)  But I do thank you for taking the time to write a few 
paragraphs explaining what's going on in the current code.  It's certainly 
something I didn't know before and it really takes out an advantage of using 
iLBC over something like GSM -- the former has lower bandwidth requirements 
but the increased processor overhead and lag might be causing another problem 
I've been seeing.  I've switched back to GSM for now to see if the audio 
quality issues goes away.

Hmm...  having worked on the IAX2 jitter buffer, can you tell us why trunking 
and jitter buffers don't get along?  When trunking with nufone I get ... 
interesting... audio if I have a jitter buffer enabled.  :-)

Aside from easier implementation is there any advantage to having the audio

I am the source for that statement.  Is that a problem? ;-)

My qualification is having worked on the IAX2 jitter buffer, consequently 
having studied how audio flows from the received frames through the jitter 
buffer and then via ast_translate() into the codec.

To use the iLBC codec's lost packet concealment, you must call the codec
every 20msec (or whatever).  If you have a new frame, you pass it - and
you get that back decoded.  If you haven't, you call iLBC_decode anyway,
passing mode=0 and get a reconstructed frame back.

In Asterisk, bridging is "self-clocked" by the incoming frames. So unless
a frame arrives, nothing happens.  Each arriving frame gets pushed through
the codec decode function.  But if a frame doesn't turn up... well,
then... nothing will happen.

You can confirm this by examining codecs/codec_ilbc.c where you will see 
that there is only one call to iLBC_decode(), and that call has a 
hardcoded mode=1.  So Asterisk will never use the iLBC packet loss 
concealment capability.

At the moment, anyway - this can arguably be fixed, but its not a trivial 
fix.

Steve

For IAX2, at least, Asterisk oes not use the lost-packet-concealment of 
any codec.  This is because the incoming frames "clock" Asterisk.  For 
iLBC's lost packet concealment to work, Asterisk would have to start

Hi

>From what I have heard, Asterisk does not allow for iLBC to

I understand this has something to do with the jitter
processing.

If lost packet concealment doesnt work with ilbc, I can
assume the same applies to other codecs who claim to have
this feature.

Hopefully this will be fixed sometime soon, especially for
us folks with less than ideal IP throughput.

Neither G.729 or ulaw have any strong features to help with packet loss 
concealment or high delays. However, ulaw sounds better, especially for 
things which are not a single human talking. For example, music on hold 
sounds awful through G.729.

I own a G729b codec from voiceage which I had from Digium a couple of

Asterisk is showing this :

You have been misinformed.  ACELP is an update (i.e. tiny amount of work)
to CELP.

CELP can be freely used, and is used as part of the SpeeX (free software)
project.  ACELP cannot be used within the USA without paying monopoly
money to the current owners of the patent.

No you MUST pay per channel because the patent holders require that.  The

I see it as the patent holders who want something for nothing.

Yes - you can get g729 support but you have to pay on a per channel basis -
If you have say 30 phones you could probably get buy w/ 25 licences.  
The licenses limit the concurent number of g729 sessions.

We use g729 on our Cisco 7940's and it works great - I can get a clear 
conversation over single channel isdn - which was our goal.  This is 
impossible using straight g.711.

To purchase go here.

I read it more like he want's to purchase a site license, not a totally
unusual request. If used within a restriced environment (no resale) it's
reasonable, although would be expensive. Probably something he would
need to negotiate with the patent holders directly at this point.

Yes this is correct, you need too purchase licenses, but the number of
licenses  you buy mast be proportional to the size of the cpu's processor

No you MUST pay per channel because the patent holders require that.  The
patent holders would [EMAIL PROTECTED] kittens if you had no port limit or any type of
control on it.  That's why the control and registration processes are in
place to comply with the patent holders requirements.  So your request

I wonder if you are having a libc problem. Recently my workstation
started having problems with a couple of apps and libc. I did track it
down to a recent update I had done, and then about a few days ago debian
released another libc update and all is fine again.

(gdb) bt
#0  0x4015acad in memset () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x40226bea in load_module () at codec_g729b.c:514

#5  0x400f4bb4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

Does it require anything in the kernel that I might accidently have switched 
off?

Try the new_codec_binary/codec_g729b.so from our ftp site.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] g729 Codec

[Ricardo Villa]

Hi Dan,

I have tested calls between two ATA186s both running g729 for 10 - 15
minutes and the codec has perfomed well and with no delays.  This has been
on a LAN environment.

Next week I plan to test it on the Internet with SIP endpoints thousands of
miles apart.  I will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks,
Ricardo Villa

Re: [Asterisk-Users] g729 Codec

[Dan Fernandez]

Ricardo

Have you tested g729 between two endpoints (SIP) for over 5mins?

My experience has been that after 3-4 mins both ends begin to get huge
delays and after a few minutes is impossible to continue the conversation.

HAve you done any testing similar to mine?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] g729 Codec

[Ricardo Villa]

Thanks Wipeout.  I ordered a couple of licenses and have them running in the
lab.  The codec works pretty good so far.

I noticed that the transmitt packet time of the g.729 codec seems to be
hardcoded at 20ms.  Is there anyway to adjust that via a config file?  Most
implementations allow you to adjust it between 10-60ms.

Thanks,
Ricardo Villa

Re: [Asterisk-Users] g729 Codec

[WipeOut .]

Its just like any other codec so it should work in SIP, IAX or any other connection..
