I'm getting relatively frequent jitter and what seem like timing-related issues on calls, even in simple device <-> device calls within FS (no external gateway involved). I'm currently running FS in a Debian 8 docker container (with no memory or CPU limits) on a c4.large Ubuntu 16.04 host (kernel 4.4.0-45, default 250hz timer). The particular behavior I'm seeing <i class="m_-78662355845082690gmail_msg">feels and sounds</i> like a few frames of silence, followed up by the audio being sped up slightly for a second or two (almost like it's trying to catch up), happening occasionally throughout calls. Note that this is with one call, and ~5% CPU usage on the host. Thus I'm pointing a finger most likely at kernel timer resolution. Running time_test 100 on FS returns an average of 200, which seems pretty bad.</div><div class="m_-78662355845082690gmail_msg"><br class="m_-78662355845082690gmail_msg"></div><div class="m_-78662355845082690gmail_msg">I've heard people have better success with the Amazon Linux AMIs for their packaged kernels.
