[Freeswitch-users] Slow to open the inbound RTP port - wait for 183 response

[Anthony Minessale]

You cannot get FreeSWITCH to use the port until it knows media will be
established.
The channel will not read any media at all until it gets some indication
that media flow will actually happen to conserve resources.
Keep in mind people have expectations of 150+ cps and opening ports before
you know you will need them is not part of the design.

Very few things would ever require such a thing, and even if the port was
open FS would not try reading from it anyway until it gets the remote SDP.
If you need a work-around, use iptables to block icmp unreachable messages
on the rtp port range.
