              Hello,<br>
              <br>
              I am wondering if asterisk does anything at all to RTP
              packets passed from channel to channel if no transcoding
              is involved? Can I assume that the packet that left phone
              A, arrived at the asterisk server, was copied to phone B's
              channel and eventually arrived at phone B had exactly
              (byte for byte) the same payload?  Assume two SIP
              endpoints, no NAT involved.<br>

            <div>That will only happen when the call is natively

            <div>Non-native bridge: Packets can get translated or
              Asterisk has an interest in the packet for things like
              DTMF or call recording.<br>

            <div>Native bridge doing packet-to-packet (Local bridging):
              Packets come in on one channel and go out the other

            <div>Native bridge doing direct media (Remote bridging):
              Packets go directly between endpoints so Asterisk never

    Thanks for the quick reply RIchard!  Can I force native bridging, or
    does it default to that if I don't configure direct media?  The
    dialplan will be very simple - extensions calling extensions within
    a context.  No DTMF, no recording, no mixing for conference, etc.<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>
