[Serusers] faster SER

[Dave Bath]

I know the Zyxel 2000 Wireless phones to be bad with G729 (the default) and WEP enabled.  

Usually, asterisk will sit in the media stream.  As the G729 codec needs licensing asterisk would have rejected it and defaulted to G711 a-law (probably).   

As ser does not sit in the media stream, probably the phones tried to use g729 as they just directly connected the media streams.

Also, inherently the sound quality will not be as good from an 8kbps codec as a 64kbps codec...

Hope this has some pointers,

Dave

There is nothing to improve in SER as long the communication was 
established. In the case a NAT would be involved you would need either a 
RTP relay (rtpproxy, media proxy) or in some cases just a STUN server 
(depending on SIP clients and NAT type).

Try to force the SIP clients to use some other audio codec (if they 
support more than one) -- maybe one has a broken implementation of the 
codec chosen for communication.

I do not know much about asterisk, it may do some media correction or 
codecs translation.
