There is no point in trying to change anything in the NAT settings, because we all have the same problem... It worked perfectly until Friday or Saturday!

So, something was changed that is affecting many users. And that was something at Voxalot. Can maybe Martin or somebody else try to take a look at what was changed late last week that is affecting so many users?

Trying to play with a single ATA's parameters will not fix the issue...

Thanks Martin or somebody else at Voxalot for taking a look into this.

Default check ..

martin,
I'm going to check my own landline (+43 1 40xxx62) right now:
1st call after reg of my ata: ok! Ans.Machine heard me took my message
2nd call - still reg. - my ans.machine couldn't hear me
3rd call *600 - still reg - ok - can hear me
4th call - still reg. - again my landline ans.machine.: couldn't hear me, it hang up
De-registering the ATA.

BTW, your call record of my calls shows that all these calls were ok?
(The *600 is skipped in this list)

Martin, if you'd like, within the next hour, I could make a (free) landline call to (your) australian no. that you can check?

Thanks Carl,

How do these results compare to what was happening before the RTP reboot?

Also are you pointing your ATA to the same cluster that is defined in your Voxalot "Member Details"?

e.g. ATA is eu.voxalot.com => Member Details - Preferred Cluster is eu.voxalot.com

Martin,

these are my settings of my ATA:
Domainname/Realm: eu.voxalot.com
Local Port: 5060
Proxy Server: eu.voxalot.com:5060
Register Server: eu.voxalot.com:5060
OutboundServer: eu.voxalot.com:5060
RTP Audio Port: 9000
RTP pkt Periode:20
pref. Codec: G.711A

RPORT: activated
STUN activated

[ And (but?) under sip-status I see: ]
SIP NAT Typ:
Port Restricted NAT

The situation is nearly as before, sometimes the first call after registering the ATA is ok, sometimes the first fails, most of the times the counterpart couldn't hear me, sometime I couldn't hear anything - it a kind of a lottery.

Carl

It could be a problem with VoipDiscount.

After the RTP reboot, all my calls to voxalot (*500) worked OK. I'd suggest testing *600 many times, and verifying that you do not see one way audio when calling Voxalot.

If *600 has both way audio, could indicate that it's specific to VoipDiscount.

Default hmm, or ..

the connection between voxalot and voipcheap?
Or the ip-addr for *600 is not eu.voxalot.com?

I am guessing that the problem is between voxalot/betamax as I am not getting the audio problem when I use voipuser which is also configured on my voxalot account, have not changed anything for well over 12 months and the problem has only started recently - past few weeks and only noticed it on voipcheap.com.

(why this might harm?)
If your NAT is too restricted it will not be compatible with STUN.

The STUN process is how your SIP user agent learns your external IP address and external port number. When port forwarding, port numbers remain unchanged as they traverse NAT, ie same port number on LAN and WAN. When port forwarding, if the SIP user agent can get your external IP address another way (through SIP registration or you enter it manually) then you don't need STUN.

See Network address translation. STUN may or may not work for you, it depends on what type of NAT you have. If you have not already done so, you may want to experiment with the "Symmetric NAT" settings in your Voxalot account, and for outbound calls to PSTN you can try disabling "optimize audio path". Note this quote from Wikipedia; "This (NAT) terminology has been the source of much confusion, as it has proven inadequate at describing real-life NAT behavior."

If you are not port forwarding then in addition to using NAT you must use "NAT keep alive" packets to refresh the original NAT mapping which was created by SIP registration. If the "NAT keep alive" packet is sent after the original SIP registration mapping has expired (usually 180 seconds) a new mapping (with different port numbers) will be created which is useless.
