Thank you for your offer.
Could you say me which options I should pass to tcpdump to get all
information you need?

But I'm not really sure, that Asterisk could be the problem, since, as I
said, the problem happens even if I connect the phone direct to the
server of Telekom...

Well, during the calls, the BananaPI has a load of max 1, and it have 2
cores...
The LAN interface is Gbps, and my DSL is only 50Mbps, so it is not
possible to get it full of band...

And during the test as I connected the phone to the Telekom servers the
load of the BananaPI was lower as 1.

Last but not least: I tried calls via Skype and WhatsApp (with my phone
in my WLAN). No problem and very good quality, so the BananaPI does not
have any problem to manage the data transfer, isn't it?
