Asterisk - pass audio from carrier directly to endpoint

ja133 · January 15, 2011, 3:36pm

Hi,
I am trying to set up my Asterisk 1.6.2.6 as just a switch and let it pass audio from the carrier to my customers. This works great when directrtpsetup is set to yes in sip.conf and canreinvite=yes is present in the provider’s and peer’s trunk.

In the provider trunks I commented out disallow=all and all the “allow” stuff so that it can be set by the peer. The problem is that if the peer sends out, for example, g729, somehow, asterisk is saying “I like ulaw better” and ends up using ulaw for the provider. This of course causes one way audio. sip.conf has no codec preference established. There are no values at all that have disallow=all and allow=whatever.

Can someone point out what I am doing wrong?

I even tried completely taking away the codec from the peer settings as well, but that made no difference at all. I tried other combinations too, like putting back the codec preferences in the trunk, but still no luck. Unless I am forcing just one codec, what I am trying to accomplish is not working. I thought that this would be simple since a lot of carriers have success with doing this and working with multiple codecs.

Thank you in advance for any help

The default codec set is empty. You need an allow.

Thanks

I set the trunks to allow ulaw and g729 and it does the same thing. I tried it with and without “disallow=all” and it did not seem to make a difference. The endpoint is still unable to choose their own codec without having any issues
is there anything else I can look into?

no one?

My guess is that none of the few people who follow the forum have seen the problem themselves. You need to provide detailed debugging information, so that one can see what is actually happening. At the least, sip set debug on with reasonable debug and verbosity levels.

Here is a debug of my “wannabe” switch to my voip provider and trunk settings. I did also try type=peer:

[voipinnovations]
;disallow=all
type=friend
qualify=yes
insecure=invite
host=x
fromdomain=x
trustrpid=yes
sendrpid=yes
context=inbound
canreinvite=yes
;allow=ulaw
;allow=g729

In 1.6, Asterisk is offering a choice of both G.729 and G.711 Mu-law. There appears to be a preference for G.729. The peer is restricting this to G.711. I’d say the problem lies with the peer, as it should offer all the compatible ones it supports, which would then allow the codec to be changed, mid-call, at the RTP level.

On 1.4, it is only offering G.729, which is probably wrong.

ja133 · January 26, 2011, 2:49pm

Thanks
What if the peer only wants to use g729?

There are no codecs defined in the peer settings, yet for some reason it chooses ulaw as a preference

Even with the codec preferences filtered out, sip set peer voipinnovations shows ulaw and g729 but doesn’t specify a preferred codec

Codecs : 0x104 (ulaw|g729)
Codec Order : (none)

I don’t want a “preferred” codec I just want the endpoint to choose whatever codec they feel comfortable with or even play around with different codecs for different destinations.

Thanks again

david55 · January 26, 2011, 2:58pm

Then it should only offer that codec. It appears that it only wants to use G.711.

What’s “it”? Asterisk has preferred G.729, but also given G.711 as an alternative. The remote system has preferred G.711, and given no alternative.

The end point has; it is most comfortable with G.711 Mu-Law.

ja133 · January 26, 2011, 3:26pm

What would be the “best way” to program both asterisk machines so I can have this working as expected?
On 1.4, disallow=all followed by allow=g729 is set and for some reason asterisk is still seeing ulaw first. If I can be guided to specific instructions, hopefully that will solve everything

I do want to point out that when I forced g729 on the 1.6 side (on the peer’s interconnect settings), voip innovations was sending incoming calls as ulaw even though the peer only showed g729 as an option. When I set disallow=all and allow=g729 on the voip innovations trunk, everything works as expected, but then of course it messes up the calls for those trying to use ulaw.

Thank you again

david55 · January 26, 2011, 3:41pm

You didn’t mention 1.4 until you provided the traces, and even later you seem to imply you have a 1.4 connected to a 1.6. We seem to be missing some topology information.

Are you maybe missing half the traces. The 1.4 trace only shows one leg. On that leg, Asterisk only offers G.729 and the remote party only offers G.729. The 1.6 trace also only shows one leg, in which 64.136.x.x:5060 is offered a choice of both codecs, but chooses to only use G.711.

For 1.6 Asterisk’s offer is

m=audio 11674 RTP/AVP 18 0 101
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000

and the remote counter offer is

m=audio 24746 RTP/AVP 0 101
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000

Clearly it is the remote system that is constraining the choice of codecs.

ja133 · January 26, 2011, 5:15pm

I understand now
Is there anything else on the 1.4 that I can check out except trunks settings and sip.conf to see why ulaw is being requested?
