[1] This is the capture made at the softphone's end :

This is the capture made at the proxy's end :

[2] Another thing is this does not happen everytime. It happens like
50% of the time.

[3] If i don't do any repacketization, then 100% calls succeeds
without any problem. This problem comes up only when the
"repacketization" feature is turned on.

[4] Conceptually its bizarre, because if turn on the "repacketization"
at the proxy, how the switch/gateway knows at advance that there is
going to be repacketization at the proxy's end? So my suspicision is
that when instructing rtpproxy to do repacketization, kamailio is
doing something wrong in SDP so that the rtp packets are not flowing
through the proxy server. At first look, SDP's looked OK to me though.
