[asterisk-users] Asterisk && RTCP

[Gohar Ahmed]

Hello list,

Kevin I agree with you on independent monitored entity for A leg while the
outbound leg has separate QoS measures. But after this thread I went to my
monitoring tool and saw that for some calls on the same asterisk setup I had
no RTP or RTCP while there were calls with both RTP and RTCP captured as
well.

Since I've a SIP proxy on top of asterisk servers layers, could it be
possible that RTP and RTCPs bypass asterisk (media redirect) and that's why
I see RTCPs and RTPs logged into monitoring tool while those call who
couldn't redirect/bypass media from asterisk don't show any RTCPs!?

Sammy can you provide further details of your setup please!

Regards,
Gohar

As I said before, you will never get RTCP *flowing through* Asterisk. 
When your softphone calls Asterisk, that will be a separate call leg 
from the one from Asterisk to your provider. Your monitoring tool should 
treat those as separate call legs and produce an analysis for them 
independently.
