[VoiceOps] troubleshooting RTP loss - and does anyone use webair/opti9?

[Ivan Kovacevic]

+1 for MTR

also iperf in both directions.

And if the only tool you have is ping. Change ping frequency and packet
size to match G711. Ping each individual hop along the way, that you can,
and look for discrepancies.

Keep in mind it's ICMP so it will get deprioritized, but if it works fine
sometimes and other times it does not, it's a load or fault-at-load that
causes it to go karplunk.

My favourite real life experience troubleshooting network weirdness was
with a fortune 1000 client's network team early in the VoIP era. Same type
of time-of-day weirdness.

They were swearing up and down that their network gear was clean and was
not running high on memory or cpu use... Until we painstakingly determined
that it must be the network gear.... At which point they found their queue
limits were too low for VoIP. The reason their network gear was clean was
because it was ignoring packets when it got busy. That was a decade+ ago, I
am sure the current network requirements have evolved (video and all)...
But still...
