Hi,

 

Rtpmap is not mandatory for all codecs in the m line. It's only mandatory for dynamic codecs. For the static ones, it's encouraged to declare a rtpmap, but it's not mandatory.

So it does it for G.729, but not for G.711 µLaw, which is the codec identified as "0" in your m line.

It's possible to do so, even if declaring it also as a rtpmap is strongly encouraged by the RTP RFCs.

Static codecs are described in the RTP/AVP RFC, and so should be supported by all VoIP SW even without rtpmap.

 

As for the precedence, it comes from the order in the m line, regardless of rtpmap being present or not. Rtpmap just describes the codec by its MIME type, and links it to a Payload Type used to transport it, no more no less.

 

Regards,

 

Herve

Hello,

 

Quick question I was analyzing the SDP which my softswtich is sending in response to an INVITE for an inbound call I received from my SIP peer. I noticed that I can see two codec choices in media description (m=) line but the rtpmap attribute of the SDP just showing one. Can any one tell what does it means and which one has precedence if I have media description and rtpmap present in an SDP? 

 

c=IN IP4 5.5.5.2

t=0 0

m=audio 21092 RTP/AVP 18 0 100

a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000

a=rtpmap:100 telephone-event/8000

a=fmtp:100 0-11
