Lawrence,

Well Said!

There is one upside., atleast Microsoft pushed the TCP stuff hard with Lync
so maybe we'll start seeing more traction there...

In reguards to the WebRTC stuff, imho SIP over WebRTC is a bit heavy
handed... something simple like Verto provides a lower overhead (in the
browser) and allows for push/pull eventing... wish we would see wider
adoption of such things in the near to mid terms

Hi Ken, Conor, folks,
Along time ago in a land far away ... the [very] early history of SIP was
tied up with a bunch of other multimedia SxP things.
The big driver at that time was being able to do conferencing and media
distribution -- after all, voice calls could be done with H.323 et al. The
SDP (and SIP main part headers) were quite simple and small [**]. This was a
message based scheme, and UDP is a messaging transport, as opposed to TCP
which is a stream transport.

IIRC, mapping from PSTN schemes (again, message-based systems) to UDP seemed
simpler.
TCP required maintaining transport session state in gateways, and the stacks
in those gateways were primitive, to say the least.

Despite that, folk pushing for TCP to be mandatory were told that it was
considered 2nd class and should not be mandatory to implement); that was in
'97 as I recall.

Then (late 98 -> 2001) cable labs & 3GPP decided SIP was easier to bend to
their will than H.323/224/..., and the number of headers grew like topsy,
the complexity of the maintained state just kept on building, and we ran
into fragment problems.
Quick fix was header compression, but that ran into company-political issues
in 3GPP and anyway couldn't keep up with the 5,000 new headers there seemed
to be per week. THEN there was a drift away from UDP and towards TCP for
purely practical reasons, and TCP became mandatory to implement (but NOT, of
course mandatory to use, as there were any number of bits of kit out there
that didn't have support for it Smile.

Long story, but in short -- with the continued introduction of bloat (e.g.,
IMHO all the web RTC driven stuff) UDP is getting VERY tight on MTU limits.
That shouldn't be a problem but is because frags are not dealt with well by
end systems (as customer router/end system IP stacks tend to be nasty
brutish and short on development).

SO ... TCP has advantages (as long as your system can handle many parallel
TCP sessions), is marginally slower on initial set up, but doesn't have to
maintain the t30 et al timer stuff. From memory, getting the TCP stack
tweaked for ultra-high load systems was a pain and led to obscure behaviour,
but available TCP stacks seem generally better now.
UDP was simpler to map to message based systems at gateways, didn't have to
use good IP stacks as you were rolling your own logic, but given the lard
that is SIP/SDP now, that's the least of your coding worries.

For carriers, I understand why they have a reflex against maintaining state,
and they're using kit that is "mature". It's hard to justify replacing kit
that's familiar, has a management UI your staff know, and had its costs
amortised away years ago; VoIP is not a high profit service so the bean
counters WILL ask.

=> TCP may be 'better', but UDP is in kit that isn't going away soon.

all the best,
Lawrence

Columbia University a post-grad course on IP comms during which he gave
"implement a SIP-based voice call system" as a [two week] homework exercise,
followed by interops between the clients. It had to be simple (and he was a
"hard task master" [or words to that effect]; he knew that UDP forced all
the timer logic to be coded as well).

PostPosted: Mon Feb 15, 2016 4:57 pm    Post subject: [Freeswitch-users] TCP vs UDP (was Re: Freeswitch doesnt tra Reply with quote

And that’s the reason as to why Lync is TCP-only. The commonly large payloads would always be above the SIP MTU meaning they’d need to switch to TCP. Instead of dealing with the pain of doing both (and the joy of adding that to interop tests), it was easier to simply do TCP-only. And really, people should just be using TLS anyways (but UDP+IPSec seems more common).

Also FWIW, it’s easier to defend some attacks on TCP than UDP; at least it eliminates IP spoofing. (Enable syn cookies versus running a most-likely-buggy SIP parser on each message.)

IP frag may not actually be an issue in practise. I looked at the signaling for a VoIP company with tens of thousands of end users. About 1% of all UDP SIP signaling was IP frag’d, though usually around 576 bytes. This had no noticeable impact on service (i.e., I didn’t see any related retransmits). But this is really just an anecdote.

With SDP getting bigger and bigger with presence packates and large invites with many codecs or video and WebRTC TCP will become mandatory.
The spec on when to use TCP is very arcane.



Use UDP first unless the packet is > MTU, change to TCP. If the TCP times out (1 to 10 min) retry UDP anyway.

With some fun mixed in like you MUST be under the MTU and you also MUST support packets over udp up to 64kb.



Implementing that used to cause communications with asterisk to take forever because they only did UDP so bigger SDP packets would timeout on TCP first and everyone called it a bug.



If you anticipate using presence or really big packets use TCP. If you use WebRTC its already TCP.

Thanks, after setting media_mix_inbound_outbound_codecs=true,
transcoding happens automatically. I remember not setting this
variable in other installations and transcoding used to work out of
the box. Is media_mix_inbound_outbound_codecs=true default in
Freeswitch?

The siptrace is at http://pastebin.com/xiGqtj1Y

The call is being made from 303 (Android/CSipsimple with OPUS
codec) to 208 (pjsua test client with PCMU codec). The error is on
line 545.

Hello,

I have a remote sip phone (Linksys SPA3102) which only supports
PCMU.

When I call to this remote sip phone i get a 406 error that opus
is not supported as shown by the sip trace below. However, if I
force the codec to absolute like this
{absolute_codec_string='PCMU,PCMA'}sofia/internal/303@192.168.1. ([email]303@192.168.1.[/email])
5
the call works fine.

Is there anyway I can make FreeSWITCH to automatically transcode
without forcing the codec string in the dial plan?

The codec preferences is set as
global_codec_prefs=OPUS,PCMU,PCMA and
outbound_codec_prefs=PCMU,PCMA,GSM
