Hi, I’ve recently installed Asterisk on a test server. We add 2 users to our “User Extensions” list and that’s fine. We dial each other and we both pick up, however as the call goes on… or within a few seconds, the voice delay gradually gets bigger to the point where we’re both waiting almost 5-10 seconds until we hear a response from the other party…
What settings could be causing this? Or is this a common problem? Bearing in mind, we’re testing it over a LAN connection where both parties are sitting 10 metres away.
Sounds like you might have a transcoding issue. Your hardware may not be able to keep up.
If your two clients are both the same, you might try enabling re-invites. That will make it so the SIP packets do not pass through the Asterisk server on the way to the other client.
I recently installed debian etch + asterisk 1.2
created 2 extentions with freepbx
i tested a call from one extention located outside my LAN to my IP phone located in my local LAN (have a natted LAN)
i hear my voice reaching the other side about 5 to 10 sec after
the voice quiality is good
can it be because im using a free g729 i found on the web?
what is re-invite?
thanks a lot for your help
As dufus suggested your hardware may not be up to par with what you are trying to do. You want to enable re-invites. (This will not work if you are behind NAT). To do this in sip.con set canreinvite=yes. Also the free G729 codecs that you have found on the web are illegal.
thanks dovid for your help
I have another PC (celeron 1.2ghz Intel mainboard) with debian and asterisk but i dont have this problem at all.
In this other pc (celeron 1.7ghz pcchips mainboard) I do have the problem
both PC’s use in the same network configuration (natted)
So I am guessing is something with the asterisk configuration.
Im using g729 just for test and study purposes only
thanks again
Celeron chips have a problem that they do not have a large on board cache. Also when using G729 there is a lot o CPU usage (if you are trans coding). What is the CPU usage during the call ? What is the memory usage like ?
