After OpenBSC stalled for some reason (e.g. CPU overload or database
access) or after speech frames have been lost (MNCC application problems /
hold/retrieve call), the timestamp and the sequence number of the RTP
socket state must be corrected. The amount of incrmentation is calculated
from the elapsed time. Not incrementing timestamp and sequence number would
cause all frames to be dropped by ipaccess BTS, because the BTS expects
frames with more recent timestamps.
If speech frames are received too fast, they must be dropped. The timestamp
and sequence number of the RTP socket state are not changed in this case.
Incmenetating timestamp and sequence number would causes high delay at
ipaccess BTS, because the BTS would queue the frames until the timestamp
matches the current time.
There is a simple test case:
Make a call between two phones and check the delay. (When using LCR, make
a call to the echo test.) The press CTRL+z to suspend OpenBSC process for
a few seconds and enter "fg" to continue OpenBSC process. There shall be no
change in the delay, even after repeating this test many times.
