[Freeswitch-users] Conference silence timeouts

[Bradley Brashier]

I took a closer look at the SIP messages on the console. From it, I
understand that it's not Freeswitch timing out, but rather FS is getting the
"BYE" msg from somewhere else. I've tested phones and tested calling without
going through the FS conference, though, and everything works fine. Then I
saw something else odd inside the BYE msg:

   Reason: Q.850 ;cause=31 ;text="RTP Broken Connection"
So I Googled "RTP Broken Connection" and saw several sites talking about
AudioCodes gateways and Asterisk -- and our gateway is an AudioCodes. From
these sites it sounds like AudioCodes is rather aggressive in detecting RTP
breaks, and is interpreting the silence from FS as a break.

So now I'm looking into ways to maybe send "I'm still here" RTP packets from
FS or to tune the gateway to be less aggressive. I can't stop and get a
clean packet capture right now because I've got a bunch of testers working
on it today. I'll do that sometime when the system is less busy.
