[SIPForum-discussion] DTMF tones and digit in SIP

[MULTACH, JEFF (ATTLABS)]

It is unclear if the question is in regards to the reason for DTMF or
the method used to carry it.

Along the first path of discussion, DTMF signals in the middle of
applications can be distorted, especially when using codecs which
perform compression. Therefore there is a need to have a method to carry
this in a manner so that they can be accurately reproduced.

This is true not only for IVR type systems (including voice mail
systems) but also for many alarm systems, a case which is often
overlooked.

Alarm systems have multiple ways of transmitting their signals based on
their design. One of which is using a rigid DTMF sequence, so not only
does recognizing the DTMF tone become important but also the duration of
that tone.

DTMF digits are mainly useful for IVR applications.

Hi All,

What is the practical purpose of carrying DTMF digits in SIP using INFO
or
RTP Payload ?

Thanks,
Sumanta
