The patch you seek is located in Mantis bugid 5374...

Perhaps it would help.  What is the hardware you are
Testing against?  If I read the chart correctly you could
only setup about 3 calls per second which just doesn't 
seem right...

Just wanted to follow up on my post, archive it for the world and
provide 
some insight into what the issue was.

Asterisk's 1.2 RTP stack requires bidirectional traffic to actually send

traffic back. There was a patch in Mantis a while back that did 
asynchronous RTP, but I was unable to find it. However, the fact that
you 
need to receive an RTP packet to SEND an RTP packet is the reason why no

RTP was originating from the Asterisk server.

So.. here is what I did to get things working:

1. Installed libpcap and libnet on my development box.
2. Built SIPP w/ Pcap Play suppor using "make pcapplay"
3. I grabbed a g729 RTP strean from a SNOM phone w/ TCPDUMP:

tcpdump -T rtp -vvv dst 207.166.192.106 -w g729.pcap

4. I then dumped the "uac_pcap" XML file and made some tweaks:

./sipp -sd uac_pcap > uac_pcap.xml

My edits consisted of modifying the following line:

<exec play_pcap="pcap/g711a.pcap"/>

To

<exec play_pcap="pcap/g729.pcap"/>

And, I changed:

a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000

To

a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000

5. I then executed the following:

./sipp -sf uac-g729.xml -d 10000 -s 451 gw4.n2net.net -l 96 -mi
207.166.192.254 -mp 5606 -i 207.166.192.254

And presto.. LOTS of calls and LOTS of RTP traffic. Once you send one
RTP 
packet to the Asterisk server, it responds back to the sipp RTP mirror 
port, and things just chug along after that..

My results (not to promising)
