Overview

The Packet Service Profile supports up to four audio encoding entries, or Codecs, using ERE. The 

Spacevars
0

...

series4
will negotiate a Codec from the list of Codecs allowed in the Packet Service Profile. One example of a negotiation scenario occurs when a call comes into the 
Spacevars
0product
from an H.323 peer. The 
Spacevars
0product
preferred coding may be G.711, while the H.323 gateway at the far end may prefer G.729A coding because that gateway has limited bandwidth to access the IP network.

In order to properly handle a call compression negotiation such as that described above, it is necessary to examine the codec list on both the local and remote gateway to find one or more codecs that are common to both. The precedence of the resultant codecs is controlled by the local precedence setting, or the precedence of the remote peer. This provisioning directive is provided by the honorRemotePrecedence parameter.

Info
titleNote

Avoid using both the Silence Suppression (SS) and non-SS variant of the same codec in one Packet Service Profile (PSP) because doing so can lead to extra offer-anwer handshakes and trigger a race condition while the

Spacevars
0product
attempts to identify a common codec instead of simply transcoding the call.

Example using G.729A on the ingress trunk group, and using G.729AB on the egress trunk group to avoid this situation:

  • Ingress PSP: 711, 729A
  • Egress PSP: 711, 729AB
  • Transcode : Conditional
  • Conditions In Addition To No Common Codec : Different Silence Suppression,
  • Ingress This Leg: 711, 729
  • Egress This Leg: 711, 729



Audio Transparency

The 

Spacevars
0series4
supports audio transparency in relaying unknown attributes and a subset of known attributes, such as rtpmap, fmtp, and T38 fax. The
Spacevars
0product
 also manages bandwidth for audio streams in pass-through calls. Audio transparency is controlled by the following PSP and Trunk Group parameters/flags.

Packet Service Profile:

  • Enable transcoderFreeTransparency for the session (enable on either of the PSPs)

  • Configure audioTransparency settings

  • Enable/disable reserveBwForPreferredAudioCommonCodec

SIP Trunk Group:

This value is configured separately from the initial playout delay for voice channels (voiceInitialPlayoutBufferDelay) so providers can trade off delay on data calls versus the likelihood of jitter causing delay changes while the playout buffer adapts. Some data bearer calls are very sensitive to delay changes (such as H.320 video conferencing), so a higher initial delay should reduce the chance of jitter bursts causing problems. (range: 5-50 / default = 50).
  • packetSize <10 | 20 | 30 | 40> – The maximum data packet size (Kilobits). 
  • preferredRtpDataPayloadType – The RTP Payload Type included in the RTP header of the data packet.

  • dtlsFlags
    • allowDtlsFallback <disable | enable> – Enable flag to allow fallback to standard RTP when cryptographic attribute negotiation fails (default = disable).
    • enableDtlsSrtp <disable | enable> – Enable flag to allow Secure RTP.
audioTransparency N/A

Use this object to configure Audio Transparency settings.

  • unknownCodecBitRate – The bit rate, in Kilobytes/second, required for bandwidth computation of unknown audio codecs. (range: 1-1000 KB/sec / default = 124)
  • unknownCodecPacketSize – The packet size, in milliseconds, required for Bandwidth computation of unknown audio codecs. (range: 5-100 ms / default = 10)

NOTE: If the bandwidth is not configured, the unknownCodecPacketSize and unknownCodecBitRate are used for the pass-through call.

honorRemotePrecedence

N/A

Flag to set precedence of audio encoding priority order of the local packet service profile over the remote peers audio encoding priority order when creating the priority order of the audio encodings that are common to both. Options are:

  • disable (default) – Applies precedence to local audio encoding priority order, local Secure RTP/RTCP settings and crypto suite priority order.
  • enable – Applies precedence to the remote peer's audio encoding priority order. For ingress call legs, also applies precedence to remote peer's Secure RTP/RTCP settings and crypto suite priority order.

mediaPacketCos

0-7

Specifies Class of Service (COS) value to be set in the IEEE 802.1D User Priority field of media packets transmitted on a call leg that uses this Packet Service Profile. This parameter only has an effect if the network interface supports 802.1Q tagged Ethernet frames. (default = 0 which is interpreted as best effort).

nonRtpStreamN/A

Use this object to configure Non-RTP Stream settings.

  • maxNonRtpBandwidth - This attribute is added in the packet service profile to define the maximum allowed bandwidth for Non-RTP stream.

Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameTranscodeConditional

The SBC, when configured with the appropriate codecs, transcodes for differences in the codecs. Use ‘transcode conditional’ option to allow the SBC to transcode for certain conditions in addition to differences in codecs. For example, if the codecs are the same on both legs and this option is selected, by applying additional settings for the particular call scenarios, the SBC will trigger transcoding for those scenarios, such as:

  1. Transcode for DTMF differences. For example, when both legs have same codec, but one uses inband for DTMF and the other RFC 2833.
  2. Transcode for Silence Suppression differences.
  3. Transcode for Packet Size differences.
  4. Transcode for RFC2833/4733 Payload differences. For example, when codecs are the same on both legs, but one side uses 101 as the Payload Type for DTMF and the other uses 102.
  5. Transcode always.

HOP Flag StateHAP Flag StateSBC Behavior
enabledisableThe SBC selects a codec order of precedence in the offered SDP, irrespective of whether it is a pass-through or transcoded codec (if transcoding is defined for that codec). The SBC as part of media lock-down may send a re-INVITE to egress peer. Note that the preference on the answerer side is given to a pass-through codec.
enableenableThe SBC gives preference to HAP over HOP in case of conflict. The Honor Remote Preference (HRP) flag on the answerer leg decides the preference order. Based on that preference list, the SBC selects a codec with highest preference from answer SDP that can be used even if it requires transcoding. Note that this may cause the selection of a codec on the other side leg not to be honored. This happens in case of a pass-through call.
disableenableThe SBC gives preference to answerer codec order that is created based on HRP flag. The most preferred codec is chosen as received in the answer SDP, irrespective of whether it is a pass-through or a transcoded codec (if transcoding is defined for that codec).

...

peerAbsenceAction

...

N/A

...

Specifies the action to take when mediaPeerInactivity timer expires (see Media System - CLI page).

  • none – (default) Inactivity detection is disabled.
  • peerAbsenceTrap – Choose this option to generate a trap if RTP inactivity is detected.
  • peerAbsenceTrapAndDisconnect – Choose this option to generate a trap and tear down the call if RTP inactivity is detected.

...

0-128

...

Specifies the preferred RTP payload type in the RTP header of audio packets for this encoding. (default = 128). This parameter is only used for 8 kHz clock rate. DTMF payload type of each subsequent clock rate (16 kHz, 24 kHz, etc.) is incremented by 1.

Note

Using the default value of "128" for preferredRtpPayloadTypeForDtmfRelay implies that the preferred DTMF value (from the system configurable) is used for this profile.

Note

If interworkDtmfWithoutTranscoding is enabled, ensure preferredRtpPayloadTypeForDtmfRelay is set to a valid value (96-127). If preferredRtpPayloadTypeForDtmfRelay value is invalid (set to "128"), the system may fail to pick up the value configured using "set system dspPad rtpDtmfRelay" command because DSPs are not used for the call.

...

Use this object to configure the Quality of Service (QoS) DSCP value for this Packet Service Profile.

  • msrpDscp – The DSCP value to use for egressing MSRP packets (range: 0-255 / default = 0).

...

rtcpOptions

...

N/A

...

Use this object to specify Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) options for the call. RTCP is used to report network traffic congestion data. Various actions (for example call disconnect) may be taken when congestion threshold settings are exceeded. The RTCP options are:

  • rtcp
    • disable (default)
    • enable – RTCP is used for the call.
  • packetLossAction – Packet loss action to take when packet threshold is exceeded:
    • none – Take no action.
    • packetLossTrap – Generate trap.
    • packetLossTrapAndDisconnect – Generate trap and disconnect.

  • packetLossThreshold – (default = 0) Enter a value between 0-32767 to specify the packet loss threshold (number of lost packets/100,000) which will trigger a packet loss action. This parameter is required if RTCP is enabled. When set to “0”, no packet loss inactivity detection is performed. See Command Example below for an example configuration.

    Note

    Configuring this parameter to a value less than 400 disables threshold detection, so be sure to use a value in the range of 400 to 32767 to enable threshold detection.

    This setting can be used in conjunction with  mediaPeerInactivity. To set media peer inactivity timeout value, see mediaPeerInactivity parameter in Media System - CLI page.

  • terminationForPassThrough – Specifies RTCP termination behavior for pass-through calls.
    • disable – (default) RTCP is relayed between the end points for pass-through calls. 
    • enable – Enable flag (as well as rtcp flag) on one leg to terminate RTCP sessions on each leg for pass-through calls. If RTCP and RTCP termination is enabled on one leg of a pass-through call, RTCP is terminated and originated for that leg. If RTCP is enabled on both legs on the pass-through call, irrespective of terminationForPassThrough settings, RTCP is always relayed.

...

secureRtpRtcp

...

N/A

...

Specifies whether secure RTP Real Time Control Protocol (SRTP) is enabled for the call:

  • cryptoSuiteProfile <profile name> – A unique identifier for the crypto suite profile.
  • flags – Possible values are disable/enable. The default value of each flag is "disable".
    • allowFallback– Enable flag to allow fallback to standard RTP/RTCP when crypto attribute negotiation fails.
    • enableSrtp – Enable this flag to enable secure RTP/RTCP.
    • resetEncDecROCOnDecKeyChange – Enable flag to reset Roll Over Counter for both encryption and decryption when decryption key changes.
    • resetROCOnKeyChange – Enable flag to reset the SRTP Roll Over Counter when the session key changes.
    • updateCryptoKeysOnModify– For an SRTP call, if this flag is enabled in Packet Service Profile and call leg mode is changed from sendonly/inactive/recvonly to sendrecv, the SBC generates a new set of crypto attributes.

...

N/A

...

Use this flag to allow audio encoding order preference in outgoing messages only.

  • disable (default)
  • enable

...

silenceFactor

...

N/A

...

The percentage of call time that silence is expected. This parameter is used to reduce expected call bandwidth. (range: 0-50 / default = 40).

...

silenceInsertionDescriptor

...

N/A

...

Use this object to define the Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID) attributes.

  • g711SidRtpPayloadType – Specifies the G.711 Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID) RTP payloadType. (range: 0-127 / default = 19).
  • heartbeat – By default, this flag is enabled to allow SID packets to be sent within a minimal interval during a silence period (at least one SID packet must be sent within a SID maximum packet time frame).
    • disable
    • enable (default)

...

t38

...

N/A

...

Use this object to specify T.38 data rate attributes using following parameters:

  • dataRateManagementType:
    • type1LocalGenerationOfTcf – Type 1 data rate management requires that the Training Check Frame (TCF) training signal is generated locally by the receiving gateway. Data rate management is performed by the emitting gateway based on training results from both PSTN connections. Type 1 is used for TCP implementations and is optionally used with UDP implementations.
    • type2TransferOfTcf – (default) Type 2 data rate management requires that the TCF is transferred from the sending gateway to the receiving gateway rather than having the receiving gateway generate it locally. Speed selection is done by the gateways in the same way as they would on a regular PSTN connection. Data rate management type 2 requires the use of UDP and is not recommended for use with TCP.
  • ecm – Use this flag to allocate DSP resources, when available, for T.38 Error Correction Mode (ECM) calls.
    • disable – (default) use normal resource allocation.
    • enable
  • lowSpeedNumberOfRedundantPackets – This field specifies the number of redundant IFP messages sent in a UDP packet for T.38 low speed fax transmission, and applies only if the T.38 error correction type is redundancy. (range: 0-2 / default = 1).
  • maxBitRate – Use this object to select the T.38 Maximum Bit Rate which controls and manipulates bits 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the DIS command received by the SBC from either the TDM circuit interface or the T.38 packet interface:
    • 2.4Kbits_s – For modem type ITU-T V.27ter fall-back mode.
    • 4.8Kbits_s – For modem type ITU-T V.27ter.
    • 9.6Kbits_s – For modem types ITU-T V.27ter and V.29.
    • 14.4Kbits_s – (default) For modem types ITU-T V.27ter, V.29, and V.17. This setting is used to constrain the type of modem modulation schemes.

    • disable
    • enable (default)

t38

N/A

Use this object to specify T.38 data rate attributes using following parameters:

  • dataRateManagementType:
    • type1LocalGenerationOfTcf – Type 1 data rate management requires that the Training Check Frame (TCF) training signal is generated locally by the receiving gateway. Data rate management is performed by the emitting gateway based on training results from both PSTN connections. Type 1 is used for TCP implementations and is optionally used with UDP implementations.
    • type2TransferOfTcf – (default) Type 2 data rate management requires that the TCF is transferred from the sending gateway to the receiving gateway rather than having the receiving gateway generate it locally. Speed selection is done by the gateways in the same way as they would on a regular PSTN connection. Data rate management type 2 requires the use of UDP and is not recommended for use with TCP.
  • ecm – Use this flag to allocate DSP resources, when available, for T.38 Error Correction Mode (ECM) calls.
    • disable – (default) use normal resource allocation.
    • enable
  • lowSpeedNumberOfRedundantPackets – This field specifies the number of redundant IFP messages sent in a UDP packet for T.38 low speed fax transmission, and applies only if the T.38 error correction type is redundancy. (range: 0-2 / default = 1).

    Spacevars
    0product
    from either the TDM circuit interface or the T.38 packet interface:
    • 2.4Kbits_s – For modem type ITU-T V.27ter fall-back mode.
    • 4.8Kbits_s – For modem type ITU-T V.27ter.
    • 9.6Kbits_s – For modem types ITU-T V.27ter and V.29.
    • 14.4Kbits_s – (default) For modem types ITU-T V.27ter, V.29, and V.17. This setting is used to constrain the type of modem modulation schemes.
  • numberOfRedundantPackets – Use this parameter for high-speed fax relay to specify the number of redundant Internet Facsimile Protocol (IFP) messages sent in a User Datagram Packet (UDP) for fax transmission. (range: 0-2 / default = 1).
  • protocolVersion – Use this parameter to specify the T.38 Fax protocol version to use.
    • 0 (default)
    • 3 

typeOfService

0-255

Use this object to set the six most significant bits of the "Type of Service" byte in the IP header. Default value is 0.

videoCalls

N/A

Use this object to define video call parameters.

  • audioOnlyIfVideoIsPrevented– By default, this flag is enabled to allow call to continue with the audio only portion if the video cannot be established for any reason.
    • disable
    • enable (default)
  • codecListProfile – Name of the Codec List profile used to store precedence and purge lists of video codec MIME sub-types.
  • ieee8021QVLanCos – IEEE-802 1Q VLAN Class of Service. (range: 0-7 / default = 0)
  • ipv4Tos – IPv4 type of service. (range: 0-255 / default = 0)
  • ipv6TrafficClass – IPv6 traffic class. (range: 0-255 / default = 0)
    NOTE: ipv6TrafficClass is not supported with H.323 calls.
  • maxVideoBandwith – The maximum allowable session bandwidth (in kbps) for a call that includes video streams. This value Includes the bandwidth for all streams in the call (audio, video, BFCP, and so on). If "0" is set as the value, video calls are not allowed; and only audio calls can be set up following the normal allocation process (range: 0-50000 kbps / default = 10).
  • videoBandwidthReductionFactor – The amount, as a percentage, to reduce the session bandwidth allocation for calls that include video streams. This setting only affects the internal allocation of bandwidth used for the calls (does not affect the signaling). For example: if the reduction factor is "20", the bandwidth allocated for calls is reduced by 20%. In other words, if the normal bandwidth allocation for calls is 1000 kbps, a 20% reduction equates to a new 800 kbps bandwidth. (range: 0-100 / default = 0).

voiceInitialPlayoutBufferDelay

1-200

Use this parameter to configure the initial playout buffer delay value (in milliseconds). Select a value just slightly greater than the maximum expected packet jitter across the network.The value must be in increments of 1 ms. (default = 10).

NOTE: Using a value above 50 ms is not recommended during normal operation.

NOTE: Transcoder Free Transparency takes precedence over Packet Service Profile flags when enabled on either the ingress trunk group or egress trunk group PSP leg allowing the

Spacevars
0product
to bypass transcoding and codec policies that result in removing/deleting codecs.

NOTE: The

Spacevars
0product
, when configured with the appropriate codecs, transcodes for differences in the codecs. Use ‘transcode conditional’ option to allow the
Spacevars
0product
to transcode for certain conditions in addition to differences in codecs. For example, if the codecs are the same on both legs and this option is selected, by applying additional settings for the particular call scenarios, the
Spacevars
0product
will trigger transcoding for those scenarios, such as:

  1. Transcode for DTMF differences. For example, when both legs have same codec, but one uses inband for DTMF and the other RFC 2833.
  2. Transcode for Silence Suppression differences.
  3. Transcode for Packet Size differences.
  4. Transcode for RFC2833/4733 Payload differences. For example, when codecs are the same on both legs, but one side uses 101 as the Payload Type for DTMF and the other uses 102.
  5. Transcode always.

The

selects a codec order of precedence in the offered SDP, irrespective of whether it is a pass-through or transcoded codec (if transcoding is defined for that codec). The

as part of media lock-down may send a re-INVITE to egress peer. Note that the preference on the answer side is given to a pass-through codec.
enableenable
The
Spacevars
0product
gives preference to HAP over HOP in case of conflict. The Honor Remote Preference (HRP) flag on the answer leg decides the preference order. Based on that preference list, the
Spacevars
0product
selects a codec with highest preference from answer SDP that can be used even if it requires transcoding. Note that this may cause the selection of a codec on the other side leg not to be honored. This happens in case of a pass-through call.

The
Spacevars
0product
gives preference to answer codec order that is created based on HRP flag. The most preferred codec is chosen as received in the answer SDP, irrespective of whether it is a pass-through or a transcoded codec (if transcoding is defined for that codec).

ParameterLength/RangeDescription 
rtcpN/A

Enable flag to use RTCP for the call.

  • disable (default)

  • enable

NOTE: The below attributes are only available to configure RTCP once this flag is enabled.

enableRTCPForHeldCallsN/A

If this flag is enabled, the

Spacevars
0product
ignores the configured RR/RS values in the Packet Service Profile (PSP) and sends RR/RS = 0 in the offer/answer, plus disables RTCP when the call is active.

When the call is HELD, and a RE-INVITE is sent, the

Spacevars
0product
uses the configured values in the PSP for RTCP bandwidth and enables RTCP. When the call is RESUMED, the
Spacevars
0product
again disables RTCP by sending RR/RS=0 in the RE-INVITE.

  • disable (default)

  • enable

packetLossActionN/APacket loss action to take when packet threshold is exceeded:
  • none – Take no action.
  • packetLossTrap – Generate trap.
  • packetLossTrapAndDisconnect – Generate trap and disconnect.
packetLossThreshold 0, 400-32767

Enter a value to specify the packet loss threshold value to trigger a packet loss action (default = 0).

This parameter is required if RTCP is enabled. When set to “0”, no packet loss inactivity detection is performed. See Command Examples below for an example configuration.

This setting can be used in conjunction with  mediaPeerInactivity (refer to mediaPeerInactivity parameter in Media System - CLI page).

rrBandwidth100-4000<rrBandwidth value> – The RTCP bandwidth allocated to active data senders (default = 250).
rsBandwidth100-3000<rsBandwidth_value> – The RTCP bandwidth allocated for receivers (default = 250). 
rtcpMuxN/A

Enable this flag for the ingress or egress Packet Service Profile for the

Spacevars
0product
to use RTCP-Mux on the respective call leg.

MultiExcerptNameRTCP Mux
PageWithExcerptSDP Support

  • disable (default)
  • enable

Refer to SDP Support for additional RTCP Mux details.

NOTE: This flag is only applicable for SIP Trunk Groups.

rtcpXrN/A

Specifies control of RTCP-XR block processing and statistics collection.

  • disable (default) - retains existing default behavior (no statistics collection).
  • relay - Allows end-to-end XR block relay (only) and statistics collection if end-to-end peer negotiation for RTCP-XR (a=rtcp-xr:voip-metrics) relay is successful; otherwise XR block is dropped.
  • relayOrTerminate - Allows end-to-end XR block relay or per-leg termination if end-to-end negotiation for RTCP-XR relay is not successful (only one leg supports RTCP-XR). This setting guarantees XR block termination and statistics collection on any call leg where XR blocks are received.

terminationForPassThrough

N/A

Use this flag to specify RTCP termination behavior for pass-through calls.

  • disable (default)– RTCP is relayed between the end points for pass-through calls. 
  • enable – Enable flag (as well as rtcp flag) on one leg to terminate RTCP sessions on each leg for pass-through calls. If RTCP and RTCP termination is enabled on one leg of a pass-through call, RTCP is terminated and originated for that leg. If RTCP is enabled on both legs on the pass-through call, irrespective of terminationForPassThrough settings, RTCP is always relayed.
