this is squiky noise.

these values are differences in "timestamp" field of adjacent RTP packets.

Here are the results:


1 - sjphone.correct.call.tcp
2 - myg729.ver0.1.tcp
3 - myg729.ver0.2.tcp


Trace	outbound	inbound		outbound	inbound		outbound	inbound
	RTP TS		RTP TS		RTP Payload	RTP Payload	RTP rate	RTP rate
	difference	difference	size		size		(kbps)		(kbps)
================================================================================================
1	160		480		20		60		8,083		8,083
2	160		480		20		60		7,969		8,621
3	80		480		10		60		7,963		8,159

My voip provider probably uses silence suppression, because, inbound
RTP packets do not flow constantly. Sometimes they appear, and then
dissappear. They always disappear at RTP packet that has "comfort
noise" payload type. I have silence suppression off in my ekiga, so
flow from ekiga goes without the breaks. So for computing inbound RTP
rate I took only some part of my trace. For trace 2 (myg729 ver0.1),
it is range of 19 inbound RTP packets. For trace 3 (myg729 ver0.2), it
is range of 17 inbound RTP packets. For trace 1 (sjphone trace), it is
range of 48 inbound RTP packets. For oubound rate computing I took the
whole trace (so this is more acurate).

have you got any ideas?
