Re: Correct method to filter an RTP stream

Hi,

Using setup frame should be fine, unless multiple RTP streams are setup.
Using SSRC should be fine, but your application seems to be reusing the
same every time.
I consider that last part an implementation error.

Thanks,
Jaap

rtp.setup-frame returns 4363 frames

SSID returns 5770

If I then do a "Show all streams" on the whole trace, all streams share
the same SSID:-



Obviously looking at the first two streams, I can see where the packet
loss is coming from when I filter on the SSID. Before I think of going
any
further with it I would appreciate some guidance on which filter method
I
should use.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Correct method to filter an RTP stream


I am running Wireshark V 1.2.5 on Windows 7 and I have a question on
what
is the correct method to find all packets in an RTP stream from a trace
that has multiple H.323 calls in it.

I use "VoIP Calls" and highlight the call I am interested in and click
"Prepare Filter". This will give one or maybe a few RTP packets.

Originally I thought that the correct method was to use the RTP setup
frame :-

rtp.setup-frame == 4

However, I was advised by someone that I should use the RTP SSID:-

rtp.ssrc == 0xb1854be7

I have a trace where if I filter on the SSID I get 95% RTP packet loss,
but if I filter on it via the RTP setup frame, I get 0% RTP packet loss.

Which method should I be using?
