== NAT ==
If your phones are are on a 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x IP address then they will be behind a NAT router. Our [[VoIP NAT|VoIP and NAT]] page has information and tips if your phones are behind a NAT router and you have problems.
== Things to figure out ==
* (if non-A&A internet) Try a different Internet connection, including using a different ISP
* Try non-NAT
*
* If it's only the incoming audio that is broken, look for the jitter buffer setting on the SIP device and increase it bit by bit.
* Get a pcap and use Wireshark to decode it
* Wireshark can play audio with different jitter buffer settings so you can sometimes recreate audio problems from the pcap
* Wireshark can [
** Packets can arrive bunched up, with gaps between, or out of order. Jitter is a measurement of this.
** Wireshark calculates jitter as per the definition in [
** Delta is the time difference between arrival of RTP packets. Max delta is the highest gap between arrival of packets. If the max delta is greater than the jitter buffer, audio will start getting dropped. Each packet usually contains 20ms of audio, so for high enough max delta you'll start to lose audio in 20ms chunks.
