I've just had the most appalling performance from * ever. Dialling: Cisco 7960 => asterisk => IAX produces sound drop outs so extreme that the call is useless. I noted this in an earlier post. Dialling: Cisco ATA186 => asterisk => IAX is fine. Frankly, I think this is such a bad problem that it should be sorted in advance of any of the new features that seem to be getting such prominence nowadays. It was not present earlier in the year and I haven't upgraded my 7960. So I don't think you can point the finger entirely in Cisco's direction. Iain
Out of context, this isn't much information. Is your network connection OK? Is your broadband provider having troubles? Has some upstream hardware changed that you may not be aware of?> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Iain Stevenson > Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 1:29 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] AArgh, * and the 7960 > > > > I've just had the most appalling performance from * ever.

Strange I do 7960 => * => IAX all day long without one jitter or any bad audio. Now if both ends are NOT running the very latest(within the last month or so) CVS-head for example if you have say a 2 month old chan_iax2.c on one end then oh boy you're in for a bad time they need to update. bkw> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Iain Stevenson > Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 1:29 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] AArgh, * and the 7960 > > > I've just had the most appalling performance from * ever.

To recap, there is two things needed to incure the problem: 1. cisco 7960 phone (it discards packets with uneven timestamps) 2. asterisk had an iax problem that was fixed about a month ago assoicated with uneven timestamps. The distant iax system will need to be upgraded to fairly recent code. See previous posts for more detail.

Watch the CVS logs the update was put in stable TODAY for a timestamp issue in chan_iax2.c bkw ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andres" <andres@telesip.net> To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 5:22 PM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] RTP timestamps> brian k. west wrote: > > >This time stamp issue is all gone.. now if everyone will just UPDATE! > > > >bkw > > > > > > > It is not gone.
