It would be interesting to see a wireshark trace of the SIP and RTP
traffic during call setup and hold, to see:
a) what codec 126 has been negotiated as and
b) who is sourcing the unknown RTP datagram.

Subject: [asterisk-users] RTCP not being sent when on hold


Hello,

When I receive a call to my CounterPath Bria from Asterisk
1.4.18.1 and I place the call on hold, the call is dropped after 30
seconds.
It looks like there is no RTCP/RTP sent to the client from
Asterisk while on hold (music on hold playing to caller) thus client
disconnects the call. During this time, I get the following messages in
the CLI:

NOTICE[24194] rtp.c: Unknown RTP codec 126 received from
'0.0.0.0'

In sip.conf I have rtpkeepalive=15 but that does not seem to
help.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this, other than increase
the timeout on Bria?

Thanks,
Adrian

The RTP codec 126 is a bogus RTP packet sent by Bria to maintain the NAT
binding.

I've identified the issue as this:

Bria has an inactivity timer that is based on RTCP. Basically, if during the
call there is RTCP, Bria uses it to make sure the call is still alive.
Asterisk does send RTCP when call is active, but it stops when call is put
on hold by Bria. The default timeout for Bria is 30 seconds, thus it
disconnects the call because it has not received any RTP or RTCP during this
time.

I am not sure at this point which is correct implementation. Should the
client not rely on RTP/RTCP when it's on hold or should Asterisk send some
sort of keep alive RTP/RTCP when it knows one of the clients is on hold?
