I've crafted patch to support RTCP in addition to RTP, please test and
let me know if it works or not. This should solve the problem with X-Lite.

Thanks!

Short summary:
Maxim's rtpproxy and x-light causes problems as x-light sends RTCP
messages which will result in ICMP error messages as rtpproxy doesn't
support RTCP. This causes x-light to create a new RTP session (new ssrc,
seq-nr) and produces choppy sound.
Solutions:
1. use Adrians RTP proxy as it supports RTCP
2. extend Maxims rtpproxy to support RTCP
3. THE EASIEST SOLUTION: Update X-light to version build 1095. This
version ignores ICMP errors and works fine (on my PC)!
regards,
Klaus
PS: nevertheless build 1095 (as 1088) is IMO buggy as it doesn't
register to my default proxy, but to all other configured proxies. Any
solutions?

Ok, I see, probably it tries to send a RTCP packet, which is OK by
itself, but handles resulting ICMP in a strange way. I'll extend RTP
proxy to make it relaying RTCP traffic as well (I am having
it on a TODO
list for a quite some time now), which should fix this problem.
Thank you for the debugging!
In the meantime, disabling RTCP in X-Ten should solve the problem.

I can confirm this too. Just tried it in our lab
with the
exact same
results as Klaus. (Instead of Budgetone I used
ATA186).
X-Lite build 1084
1. ATA186 Calls Xten.
2. Xten hears choppy audio every 5 seconds or so.
3. RTP Stream from ATA to Xten is perfect and conserves
the same SSRC
4. RTP Stream from Xten to ATA switches to a new
SSRC
every few seconds.
It is clear to me that there is a bug in Xten
software. Before Xten
switches to a new SSRC it attempts to send an RTP packet to
the wrong RTP
Port (it tries to the actual port +1). SER
server sends
back "ICMP Port
Unreacheable (Obviously)" and Xten restarts
RTP Stream on a
new SSRC.
I did not see any problem with Maxims RTPProxy.

Ricardo

I can reproduce the choppy audio
setup:
budgetone-100 <----> ser+rtpproxy(version from today) on
redhat 9 (or 8,
not sure) <------>x-lite build 1088 on win
xp
the choppy sound occours every 5 seconds, in both directions.
RTP-analysis:
RTP stream from budgetone to x-lite (via rtpproxy) is fine
(no jitter,
no loss)
RTP stream from x-lite to budgetone (via rtpproxy): very
strange: x-lite
switches to a new SSRC (and seq-nr. start at 0
again) every
5 seconds.
so, in my opinion: rtpproxy works fine, x-lite is
guilty.
but why does
this happen only if the rtp proxy is involved?
...further
investigations
are planned...

like to
ask you to generate the traces that show the problem
so we could
analyze and fix it.
Also please tell us on what OS does this happen ? (I mean the
OS the proxy
is running on).
Another question, what is the license of your RTP proxy ? I
didn't find
any licensing info in the sources. Will the sources be available ?
