Hi folks.<br>
<br>
I have a couple of questions regarding RTP. <br>
<br>
The background of my inquiry is that I have packet captures of SIP
and RTP traffic on an Asterisk and Broadworks SIP trunk and the RTP
many times has a time stamp that rewinds by 480 using g.711u. The
Sequence number continues to increment appropriately, but the
timestamp just rewinds.<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part1.903DEF47.90538A8D@greybeam.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
It doesn't happen on every call, but it's frequent enough to make me
want to understand it better.<br>
<br>
My questions are:<br>
<br>
Is there ever a circumstance where it would be normal or logical to
see the RTP timestamp go backwards during the RTP stream?
Consistently by 480, 3 voice frames?<br>
<br>
Will Asterisk just drop the packets that compromise the rewind?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
