[Asterisk-Users] INFO/DTMF retransmissions in * not absorbed?

[Andres]

Hi Jiri,

Been there.  We switched from INFO to RFC2833 for this same reason.  
Take a look at:
http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001033

Not only retransmissions are affected but out of order packets too.  
This behaviour can be partly blamed on the RFC:

"In addition, the INFO method does not define additional mechanisms
for ensuring in-order delivery. While the CSeq header will be
incremented upon the transmission of new INFO messages, this should
not be used to determine the sequence of INFO information. This is
due to the fact that there could be gaps in the INFO message CSeq
count caused by a user agent sending re-INVITES or other SIP
messages. "

Regards,
Andres
