             Summary: rtp_engine's RTCP{Sent,Received} events should contain the Channel name
                 Key: ASTERISK-20754
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20754
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
          Components: Resources/res_rtp_asterisk
    Affects Versions: 1.8.18.0
            Reporter: Jaco Kroon
            Severity: Trivial


It's all good and well being able to detect bad links, but in some cases we really want to be able to associate which calls were affected afterwards.  In combination with tracking which calls are using which channels (monitoring the AMI) and having the RTCP data associated with a specific channel this can be achieved externally to asterisk, hopefully allowing us to figure out which calls exactly were bad.

This is particularly important for us since we communicate with SBCs, but just knowing that we had packet loss coming from the SBC is not good enough to figure out where the loss originated, and we need to be able to provide A and B numbers to our peering partners to be able to track the path that the calls took on their networks.  With this information I can pro-actively monitor RTP traffic and automatically file appropriate reports, and instead of becoming reative when my clients reports problems I can find them and fix them before they moan at me (and just notify them that some bad link got sorted out).
