Problems with calls are heard robotic

Postby liigi » Thu Mar 23, 2023 8:58 am

Hello everyone this is my cluster

VERSION: 2.14-763a
BUILD: 200719-1645
Version: 2.14b0.5
SVN Version: 3271
DB Schema Version: 1602
DB Schema Update Date: 2020-08-01 22:09:44


DIALER 1
13.34.0-vici

DIALER2
13.21.1-vici

I have a problem where certain calls are heard like a robot (like when there is lag, packet loss etc...) but this happens with some calls

I have noticed that these calls with problems occur when the CALL SERVER IP is different from the SERVER IP through which the call is being made

Could you help me diagnose what could be happening, it's okay if the call comes from another dialer :cry:

This would suggest there is either an issue with one of the servers (perhaps overload) or there is a bad network connection.
Have you identified if the robotic calls are in both directions or just one of the following:

Agent on 1 & Call on 2
Call on 1 & Agent on 2

Also, describe your setup a bit more, are any of the dialers also the DB?
What's the hardware specs of both machines and install methods?
Are both servers located in the same place and on the same LAN?
How many clients (devices) are on that same LAN?

Try enabling jitter buffers in iax.conf on each telephony server and do iax2 reload once enabled on each
Compare iax.conf samples for asterisk 1.4 included in vicidial code to get the options needed - \trunk\docs\conf_examples\iax.conf.sample-1.4
asterisk 11+ iax.conf sample do not have jitter buffer enabled.

We recently had the exact same issue where cross server IAX calls were affected the same way as you describe, even though servers are connected to the same switches and issue was there even with one agent. There was no jitter with SIP legs of these calls.
Similar setup in a other DC did not have any jitter on cross server IAX calls and I never had the time to get to the bottom if it is switch configuration like QoS, high switch utilisation for other traffic or IAX being temperamental.
At the time of our tests iax2 show stats was showing up to 30-40ms jitter while latencies between the servers using ping were steady 0.2-0.5 ms or so.

Hope this helps.

Hello, thanks for the answer.

i have only 2 dialers , they are connect in the same switche /subnet . I have checked and it seems to be fine (in terms of memory and cpu usage) 10% load ,

Boht have quad core CPU and 8 gb of RAM

HI
Any idea of ​​what to validate, why there is latency in the iax communication

Hi, I have the same problem

"I have noticed that these calls with problems occur when the CALL SERVER IP is different from the SERVER IP through which the call is being made"

Anybody know how to fix this or how stop balancing or stop this "jumps" between asterisk servers.???
