[App_rpt-users] IAX Ping

[Tim Sawyer]

Yes, I have noticeable packet loss in the audio from multiple remote nodes. That’s why I started looking at iax show netstats. The number I’m looking at is percent and while it’s cumulative I would still expect it to be low. I’m going to keep looking around to see if I can figure out what the problem is. Thanks for input and ideas. I'll check out that UDP ping lead. I also saw a IAX ping script written in perl that I plan to check out.

A ping is icmp protocol at the ip level and over a set period of time while the Asterisk statistics are cumulative over the entire time it has been running. It shows loss of iax udp packets which can be expected. Unless the loss is excessive over time I would not worry about it. There is never any guarantee that a udp packet is going to make it to its destination. If it were really bad you would hear it in the audio. There is a way to actually ping tcp and udp connections but I have never done it. My connections show the same minor loss over extended periods of use. Are you actually having a problem?
