That would be a CNG frame (AST_FRAME_CNG). While a frame exists to convey
CNG to capable channel drivers, CNG itself is not implemented or handled in
chan_sip (or most of Asterisk).

There's a lot of intervening points between sip_write and whatever
generated the CNG frame. Most likely, res_rtp_asterisk is generating this
due to receiving a CN RTP packet. On the receiving channel, that will
normally just generate a single NOTICE message for that RTP session and be
done. It's possible that in your Asterisk 11 deployment, your channels were
natively bridged, which would result in the RTP packet containing the CN
indication being directly written out to the bridged party. Depending on
the configuration you are using in your Asterisk 13 deployment, your
channels may no longer be natively bridged, at which point the CNG frame is
created and passed up to the core. If that is the case, then I would expect
to see that WARNING message in either version of Asterisk.

Yup.

Check how the channels are bridged. If they are natively bridged in 11 but
not in 13, and native bridging is an option, you may want to determine why
the channels are not natively bridging in 13.

Not at all. CN handling was not changed between 11/13.
