[Freeswitch-dev] Help: how to disable dynamic RTP mapping?

[Oleg Khovayko]

Hi,

My FreeSWITCH machine is located behind the NAT-device.

When I receive incoming call, I see 10 secs delay between I picked up 
handset and voice connection establishing.
During these 10s, caller hears long beeps, as same as "ringing" signal.

I investigated problem, and found: after recipient pick up handset, 
FreeSWITCH tried dynamically map two UDP ports for RTP-connections.

I use Fios router from Verizon, and I assume, it slowly adding dynamic 
port mapping. It adds one RTP port per 5s.
So, when FS dynamically maps both ports, it loose 10 seconds (5+5). Log 
follows.

I have added static rule into router -- map UDP ports 20000~25000 to FS 
box. And, in the FS_box, I added into file 
./autoload_configs/switch.conf.xml

<param name="rtp-start-port" value="20000"/>
<param name="rtp-end-port" value="25000"/>

But, anyway, FS tries dynamically assign ports for each income call, and 
lost 10s every time.

Please suggest, how to disable dynamic port mapping, and use static port 
range mapping (20000-25000) only?
I assume, this will increase speedup of my system.

Thanks,

Oleg
