I have a similar call quality problem that Ray related when using asterisk is in the middle of media path specially, when asterisk is performing codec transcoding. I am not sure this problem is related to asterisk lack of jitter buffer but it seems to be.

 

How can we make sure asterisk is not screwing up the jitter buffer? Someone on this list knows exactly how asterisk performs the “RTP proxing” ?

I cant see that at all from your diagram. I see only an ATA and Media Gateway doing final conversion where jitter buffer would be useful. If turing on a jitter buffer in Asterisk helps then one of the other 2 is broke.

When I take Asterisk out of the media path, this is correct.  And I believe my
ISP's media gateway *does* have a jitter buffer.

Since Asterisk was an media endpoint before (it doesn't just proxy the rtp
on), its lack of jitter buffer was hurting us in some cases.
