Hi Michael &  Co,

Many thanks for the prompt & positive response! Yes, more than happy to collate feedback from the global team & update the wiki accordingly (I'd like to be able to document what the field values between the > < indicate as well as just explain the field names if possible...) +anything else I can do to to contribute to the project...?

Yes, now the wiki is back up I've managed to work out that cng_packet = comfort noise generation! Also from the wiki, possibly that the jb in rtp_audio_in_jb_packet_count & rtp_audio_in_largest_jb_size = jitter buffer? (apologies if everybody else already knows this!).

To provide the background to my original enquiry, I'm trying to identify if the rtp_audio_in_skip_packet_count in the following XML CDR extract is indicative of packet loss, or perhaps more accurately noticeable audio loss (as the packets haven't been lost, just ignored/"skipped"?: If anybody knows please speak up! :) happy

    <rtp_audio_in_raw_bytes>1565066</rtp_audio_in_raw_bytes>
    <rtp_audio_in_media_bytes>1564856</rtp_audio_in_media_bytes>
    <rtp_audio_in_packet_count>9113</rtp_audio_in_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_media_packet_count>9098</rtp_audio_in_media_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_skip_packet_count>1609</rtp_audio_in_skip_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_jb_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_in_jb_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_dtmf_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_in_dtmf_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_cng_packet_count>15</rtp_audio_in_cng_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_flush_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_in_flush_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_largest_jb_size>0</rtp_audio_in_largest_jb_size>

Thank you in anticipation of enlightenment!

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Explanation of rtp_audio_in / out fields in XML CDR's?

Mick,

This data is definitely not on the wiki - or anywhere else that I can see. I think we can crowdsource this to get the info collected and then add it to the mod_xml_curl wiki page. For the record, here's a quick dump of the fields that I took from an XML CDR:

    <rtp_audio_in_raw_bytes>10664</rtp_audio_in_raw_bytes>
    <rtp_audio_in_media_bytes>8772</rtp_audio_in_media_bytes>
    <rtp_audio_in_packet_count>62</rtp_audio_in_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_media_packet_count>51</rtp_audio_in_media_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_skip_packet_count>18</rtp_audio_in_skip_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_jb_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_in_jb_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_dtmf_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_in_dtmf_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_cng_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_in_cng_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_flush_packet_count>11</rtp_audio_in_flush_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_in_largest_jb_size>0</rtp_audio_in_largest_jb_size>
    <rtp_audio_out_raw_bytes>11524</rtp_audio_out_raw_bytes>
    <rtp_audio_out_media_bytes>11524</rtp_audio_out_media_bytes>
    <rtp_audio_out_packet_count>67</rtp_audio_out_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_out_media_packet_count>67</rtp_audio_out_media_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_out_skip_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_out_skip_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_out_dtmf_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_out_dtmf_packet_count>
    <rtp_audio_out_cng_packet_count>0</rtp_audio_out_cng_packet_count>

I think raw_bytes, media_bytes, packet_count, and media_packet_count are self-explanatory. I think cng_packet_count is probably self-explanatory too. My question on dtmf_packet_count would be whether it's only for RFC2833 packets (I suspect yes, but would like confirmation).

If anyone knows these please reply to this email and Mick and I will get them documented on the wiki (right Mick? ;)

rtp_audio_in_skip_packet_count
rtp_audio_out_skip_packet_count
rtp_audio_in_jb_packet_count
rtp_audio_in_flush_packet_count
rtp_audio_in_largest_jb_size

Thanks all!

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to use FS XML CDR's to diagnose historic audio problems. I think I can work out some of the rtp_audio_in / out fields (raw bytes & media bytes being nearly equal looks like a good sign) but am wondering about the skip, cng & flush fields for example?

I have tried Googling this & can find evidence of other people having asked this question but not of the answer. I have also checked my FS 106 & Cookbook book's without success. The wiki appears to be down at the moment so my apologies if the answer lies there.

I know how to do this in real time using wireshark etc but am interested in being able to do some analysis on historic problems reported by customers that aren't willing/able to replicate the problem in order for a protocol trace to be captured.

Any help much appreciated!
 
Rgds, Mick
