Interesting, not sure. We will have to retest with one of our customers. We failed them over to their back up connection or put them on VPN, so they’re all working now regardless. Jim On Fri, Mar 8, 2024 at 15:20 Nathan Anderson wrote: > Kemt mentioned that it has since cleared up for him.

We just set up a VPN from one of our customers to our data center and the audio issue is gone as the traffic is going over the VPN. So VPN does resolve the problem. Jim On Fri, Mar 8, 2024 at 07:45 Nathan Anderson via VoiceOps < voiceops@voiceops.org> wrote: > Assuming I understood the original

Wh...? Do you mean that, in response to inbound UDP traffic, something was sending back, like, TCP RST?  Or there was an actual payload inside with an English text string? Was the source IP just the same as the IP you were targeting, or seemingly some carrier router in the middle?

ICMP I would have noticed right away. I thought we were screaming into the void until at last I found those packets. Something was clearly consuming my UDP, and replying with a rejection message in TCP, not ICMP. It made zero sense. Interestingly, the client just called and said all

Hi David- I second. Although encapsulation can have its own issues, one we see often is RTP packet rates not matching timestamps, sometimes up to 10% off (media/announcement servers are typical offenders). But that can be unraveled and is not a config issue. -Jeff Quoting "Hiers, David

I too have a customer in the same area with the same exact problem. However they are doing SIP over UDP, and initially inbound SIP packets from my server headed to the client at frontier were getting rejections. I could see their SIP packets, but they never got mine, but I did get TCP

Assuming I understood the original problem description accurately, I don't see how a lossy trunk somewhere could explain 100% loss of *just* RTP and only in *one* specific direction with *zero* impact to any other internet traffic.  You'd think that at least some RTP frames would manage to squeak

We use SIP TLS. I don't think they're intentionally blocking voice traffic, I think there's something broken inside their network that needs to be fixed (lossy link somewhere?). The issue is getting anyone there to recognize the issue and want to fix it. Jim On Fri, Mar 8, 2024 at 5:32 AM Mike

Well... yeah, kinda-sometimes maybe. If any network device has any code that is SIP/RTP aware, that code can be poorly configured or make a mistake. Hiding SIP/RTP inside anything else is one way to avoid being seen by bad configs or buggy code. A VPN can't prevent backhoe drivers from
