  2. When capturing a Media and/or SIP Signaling file, appropriate filters should be selected to minimize the volume of packets that must be captured. In particular, the following two filters should be utilized for Media and/or SIP Signaling file:

    • TCP/UDP Port filters
      Up to four filters can be listed. Separate the filters by using a comma. 

    • Host IP address

      Up to two IP addresses can be configured. If possible, the host IP addresses should be used against termination points that are only terminating a single call. 

       

      Info

      For each IP address entered (Host 1 or Host 2) a new option will become available to select capture direction.

To work around this issue, in the RTP Player of Wireshark, select the "Use RTP timestamp" option and then click Decode.
