[Asterisk-Dev] IAX Calls close after 140 seconds

Tim,
 thanks for your reply..

True.
>From the calc_timestamp routine, there are the lines:
			
/* On a dataframe, use last value + 3 (to accomodate jitter 
   buffer shrinking) if appropriate unless
   it's a genuine frame */
if (genuine) {
	/* genuine (IAX LAGRQ etc) must keep their clock-based stamps */
	if (ms <= p->lastsent)
		ms = p->lastsent + 3;
} else if (abs(ms - p->lastsent) <= MAX_TIMESTAMP_SKEW) {
	/* non-genuine frames (!?) (DTMF, CONTROL) should be 
           pulled into the predicted stream stamps */
	ms = p->lastsent + 3;
}

which ensure that time stamp is given a 3ms gap.. This does not make sense 
to me, but someone else might be able to shed light on these lines...


Thanks,
  Derek...
