[asterisk-users] Letting rtp profiles be handled by rtpengine instead of Asterisk

[Olli Heiskanen]

Hello,

After having thought this through a bit I have some thoughts I'd like to
share.

In this case where the rtp profile is RTP/AVP Asterisk accepts and handles
the call normally. If a webrtc client calls a sip client, or even another
webrtc client, rtpengine is needed to step in (in my setup most of the
clients would indeed be webrtc, but some of them might be sip). I think it
would be better to use RTP/SAVPF throughout the process if both clients are
webrtc (or otherwise speak RTP/SAVPF), but currently there is no way to
accomplish this?

Is it possible to configure Asterisk to only accept the RTP/SAVPF profile,
and send 488 to all others? If it's not possible to force Asterisk to
ignore rtp profiles (thus allowing the sdp be handled by rtpengine
entirely), I'd prefer to use RTP/SAVPF or RTP/SAVP in the communication
between Kamailio and Asterisk servers and use rtpengine to bridge to
RTP/AVP and RTP/AVPF only if the client cannot speak securely.

I'd very much like to hear opinions and thoughts on these.

cheers,
Olli
