Overview
The Packet Service Profile supports up to four audio encoding entries, or Codecs, using ERE. The
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
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

from an H.323 peer. The
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
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.
See Packet Service Profile Provisioning Examples for provisioning examples.

Command Parameters
The Packet Service Profile Parameters are as shown:
Packet Service Profile Parameters
Parameter | Length/Range | Description |
---|
packetServiceProfile
| N/A | Specifies a unique identifier (name) for packet service profile. You can define any name or use Default as the parameter. |
aal1PayloadSize
| 0-999 | The ATM Adaption Layer Type 1 (AAL-1) payload size (default = 47). |
codec
| codecEntry1-codecEntry12 | <codecEntry ID> <codec_name> – Defines the codec entry priorities and codec names. Up to 12 codec configurations are supported by SBC in PSX, ePSX and Advanced ERE deployment scenarios (see Routing and Policy Management for a description of the different routing configurations).
SBC-POL-RTU license is needed to enable more than four codecs.
The codecEntry IDs are listed below: codecEntry1 – Codec entry with a priority of "1".codecEntry2 – Codec entry with a priority of "2". codecEntry3 – Codec entry with a priority of "3". codecEntry4 – Codec entry with a priority of "4".codecEntry5 – Codec entry with a priority of "5".codecEntry6 – Codec entry with a priority of "6".codecEntry7 – Codec entry with a priority of "7".codecEntry8 – Codec entry with a priority of "8".codecEntry9 – Codec entry with a priority of "9".codecEntry10 – Codec entry with a priority of "10".codecEntry11 – Codec entry with a priority of "11".codecEntry12 – Codec entry with a priority of "12".
For each codecEntry ID, select a codec name. Example default codec names are: G711-DEFAULT (default codec)
G711SS-DEFAULT G711_NONE
G723-DEFAULT G723A-DEFAULT G726-DEFAULT G729A-DEFAULT G729AB-DEFAULT
|
dataCalls
| N/A | Data calls pertaining to restricted or unrestricted digital data. initialPlayoutBufferDelay – Used for G.711 only. This is the initial playout delay for calls with a data bearer channel, for example, ISDN 64K data calls. 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. (range: 0-127 / default = 56)
|
dtls | N/A | Use this object to control DTLS-SRTP and DTLS fallback behavior in this Packet Service Profile. dtlsCryptoSuiteProfile <profile name> – Name of DTLS Crypto Suite Profile.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.
|
flags
| N/A | See Packet Service Profile Flags table below for flag descriptions |
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). |
packetToPacketControl
| N/A | Use this object to define the packet-to-packet control parameters: codecsAllowedForTranscoding – Use this parameter to specify codecs allowed for transcoding, and which leg to apply it to.otherLeg <codec> (see codec list below)thisLeg <codec> (see codec list below)
amr | efr | evrc | g711a | g711u | g722 | g726 | g729 | g7221 | g7222 | g7231 | ilbc | opus | t38 | | |
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: - Transcode for DTMF differences. For example, when both legs have same codec, but one uses inband for DTMF and the other RFC 2833.
- Transcode for Silence Suppression differences.
- Transcode for Packet Size differences.
- 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.
- Transcode always.
honorAnswerPreference vs. honorOfferPreference
HOP Flag State | HAP Flag State | SBC Behavior |
---|
enable | disable | The 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. | enable | enable | The 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. | disable | enable | The 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.
|
preferredRtpPayloadTypeForDtmfRelay | 0-128 | The preferred RTP payload type to be set in the RTP header of audio packets for this encoding. (default = 128).
Using the default value of "128" for preferredRtpPayloadTypeForDtmfRelay implies that the preferred DTMF value (from the system configurable) is used for this profile.
See interworkDtmfWithoutTranscoding note above for valid values to use with this parameter when interworkDtmfWithoutTranscoding is enabled.
|
qosValues | N/A | 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.
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.
|
sendRoutePSPPrecedence
| N/A | Use this flag to allow audio encoding order preference in outgoing messages only. |
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).
|
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.
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.

|
If forceRoutePSPOrder flag is enabled, this flag does not affect the ordering of outgoing offer.
The flag transcoderFreeTransparency overrides this flag. If transcoderFreeTransparency is enabled, this flag is ignored.
|
MatchOfferedCodecGroupIfNbOnly
| Enable this flag to allow the SBC to send only NB in outgoing offer if only NB is received in the ingress offer. Otherwise, do nothing. While sending the offer, this flag becomes is ignored if either HD-only or (HD+NB) is received in incoming offer. If this flag is disabled, the SBC uses existing behavior.
The flag transcoderFreeTransparency overrides this flag. If transcoderFreeTransparency is enabled, this flag is ignored.
|
digitDetectSendEnabled | Flag to specify whether digit detection is enabled on digits sent to the network. |
disallowDataCalls | Enable flag to disallow data calls. |
dscpPassthrough | When enabled on both the Ingress and Egress call leg, the DSCP value in the IP header of the media packets is transparently passed through the system. Once media is received from the peer, any value set in the typeOfService field on the Packet Service Profile has no effect when dscpPassthrough is configured on both legs for the associated call. |
forceRoutePSPOrder
| Enable this flag to send the outgoing offer in the same order as egress route Packet Service Profile irrespective of HD/NB priorities.
If this flag is enabled, HDCodecPreferred flag does not affect the ordering of outgoing offer.
The flag transcoderFreeTransparency overrides this flag. If transcoderFreeTransparency is enabled, this flag is ignored.
|
interworkDtmfWithoutTranscoding | Enable flag to interwork DTMF with out-of-band RFC2833 without using transcoding.
If you enable interworkDtmfWithoutTranscoding , 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.
|
preferNBPassthruOverHDTranscode
| Enable this flag to allow the SBC to choose NB-NB pass-through over HD-HD transcoded call. When disabled, the SBC prefers HD-HD transcoded call over NB-NB pass-through.
The flag transcoderFreeTransparency overrides this flag. If transcoderFreeTransparency is enabled, this flag is ignored.
|
ssrcRandomize | Enable flag to generate a new SSRC (using a random value) along with a new time stamp on a new RTP stream whenever a resource is reactivated (due to change in codec, etc.). SSRC randomization reduces the probability of collision in large groups and simplifies the process of group sampling that depends on uniform distribution of SSRCs. |
useDirectMedia | Enable flag to use direct media as needed. |
validatePeerSupportForDtmfEvents
| Flag to validate peer support for DTMF events. Enable this flag for all peer devices that support RFC 4733. disable (default) – Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" does not validate the presence of DTMF events in the offer or answer from the peer. If DTMF relay is enabled, Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" transmits DTMF digits received from the other leg to this peer using the named event RTP payload.enable – Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" validates the presence of DTMF events in the offer or answer from peers that support RFC 4733. If DTMF Relay is enabled and events 0-15 are received (with no other combination or subset of events), Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" forwards the events in the egress leg to this peer using the named event RTP payload. When Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" is configured for a pass-through call and it receives DTMF events other than 0-15 from the ingress peer, it does not offer any DTMF events to the egress endpoint.
