How to force INVITE based on CALLER offered voice codec?

Asterisk Asterisk SIP
1

Hi,
I have gateway running on Asterisk 11.15.1 and it has carrier peer setup with
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
allow=g729

When a caller hit the gateway with only G729 voice codec, I would like to send INVITE to the carrier only on G729.

Can anyone help me out on this please?

At the moment, my gateway offering all the above codec and carrier then prefer alaw. This makes my gateway to do trans-coding.

Kind regards,
Baranee.S

You can use the following option

preferred_codec_only=yes ; Respond to a SIP invite with the single most preferred codec rather than advertising all joint codec capabilities. This limits the other side’s codec choice to exactly what we prefer.

The OP wants to control the B side request, not the A side response

I believe there is a channel variable you can set, for chan_sip, that will limit the offer to the codecs specified there. See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/chan_sip+Channel+Variables for details.
