Hi all;

I have two asterisk boxes installed in two separated
sites, the internet bandwidth between them is very
good and I am using G729 codec to communicate with
them and IAX.

The problem that side A hears well side B while side B
does not hear well side A !!

I did one thing in side B that in iax.conf, I set the
bandwidth=high and it helped, but still side B is
complaining from the quality (while its net is very
good).

Any advise what it could be the problem?

Regards
Bilal

Try playing around with the adaptive / fixed jitter buffer settings for
IAX2. Also, if it's consistently a problem found on one side, consider
any resource consumption and/or processing issues that may be occuring
on the sending side that is creating the problem.

Is this "very good bandwidth" just good bandwidth, or also good latency,
by which we really mean _consistent_ latency? Or is it highly bursty
and variable? This will create jitter and break voice, even if the
amount of potential throughput is very high. Consider satellite links
if you need a good example.

Try using SIP. Post back with results.

Sorry to reply to my own post but if NAT is an issue, consider OpenVPN
and SIP. I bet your calls become crystal clear, if not, try GSM
instead of G729. Actually, that might be where you want to start if
changing to SIP is non-trivial in your setup.

Thanks,

Or that. Certainly, my own experiences with IAX2 would support this
conclusion.
