 Hi Lars!

 

  I guess in asterisk pbx case the traffice goes from server .. I am not sure but i read it long time ago but i will 
check it again.

  

  Since I am running wireshark on both end A -> B and B ->. so I can get jitter on both location.

 

  Although I am not very good in these calculations but I am trying my hard.

 

Regards,

If i run this at centralized place i.e Astersik pbx: will it give some additional information. I mean its hard to 
get end to end jitter but if i run it on centralized server than i can have both sides RTP.so is it possible using 
wireshark to just tell wire shark to calculate the jitter of both sides.

Capturing on a central media point will only give you the incoming jitter on all segments. (Are you sure that RTP 
really goes through your central point? Usually RTP is sent directly between media endpoints.)

But if you assume symmetric conditions, that will give you a good overall picture.

Can you explaing this line -> network jitter is symmetric ?
With "symmetric" i mean same conditions on direction A-->B as for B-->A.
While this assumption is probably true in most cases for the mean (average) jitter over time, it is probably not true 
for the jitter at a given particular time.
But usually average values is all that you want.

Regards,
Lars

Hi lars!

Thanks for your reply.

wireshark to just tell wire shark to calculate the jitter of both sides.

Well right now i am doing is like this that I am running wireshark on both sides so i have RTP of A ---> B and B ---> 
A. Can I by any mean calculate end to end jitter/delay ?

Can you explaing this line -> network jitter is symmetric ?

It is done on the receiver side.
I.e. if we consider an RTP stream direction A-->B, then we calculate jitter for B. For this we analyse all incoming 
RTP packets to B.

So you need to run Wireshark on the end which recieves the RTP packets.
But since RTP conversations are usually both-ways and if you assume that network jitter is symmetric, then you can 
do it on either end.

Hope that answers your question,
regards,
Lars

Hi!

The jitter calculation in aaa.pcap is done on the user side or server side? 

As asterisk pbx uses centralized based approach in which every communication goes from server not like skype. Is it 
possible to calculate jitter by running wireshark on the server?

Regards,
