[cisco-voip] call quality issues between gateway and Unity

[STEVEN CASPER]

Wes,
I see that Playout-Delay is not supported on MGCP platforms so how is
jitter handled in a MGCP/Call Manager enviroment?

Thanks!
Steve

Kris,

This sounds very similar to something we fixed long ago.  Take a look 

at 'sh voice call' to see if it's jitter:

CSCea35850 - Unity RTP stream has inherent jitter


If you are using non-default packetization periods watch out for
CSCed52913 Unity RTP stream has jitter with G.729 at 30 & 60 ms and  
G711/30ms

Hi

I have a customer with a multi site centralized CCM 4.13 cluster.   
The remote sites are getting complaints of poor voice quality from  
customers when being transferred to Unity (which is located in the  
central site) .  The callers cannot understand the greetings and  
describe them as choppy.  There are no problems with external calls  
transferred from the remote sites to IP phones at the central site or 

for intersite calls.  It seems to be limited to calls where the RTP  
stream is between a remote voice gateway and Unity.  These calls are  
G.729 so Unity has to transcode the greetings on the fly but if that  
were the problem I'd expect remote users to have the same problem  
when calling into check their messages or leave messages for other  
users.  Also, the Unity server is not very heavily used; it generally 

has no more than 9 active calls at the most.

I suspect the gateway might be the problem.  It's a 2851 running  
MGCP.  I guess I'd like to know if anyone agrees or disagrees with  
this assumption.  Also, I've had a lot of problems with MGCP code on  
the ISRs.  Can someone recommend an IOS version that is stable for  
and MGCP gateway and doesn't suffer from DSP firmware issues?

I should mention that Unity is version 4.04 sr1 and the gateway is  
running 12.4(5).

Thanks
