[VoiceOps] [EXTERNAL] Re: One Way Audio - Frontier Comm (Los Angeles area)

[Jeff Brower]

Hi David-

I second. Although encapsulation can have its own issues, one we see  
often is RTP packet rates not matching timestamps, sometimes up to 10%  
off (media/announcement servers are typical offenders). But that can  
be unraveled and is not a config issue.
