Context :
>From Statistics -> RTP -> Stream analysis, you get a report including the
number of packet lost, which is calculated against the number of expected
packets. We know this is not 100% safe as from the source code comments
<snip>
* There are some combinations (rare but theoretically possible),
* where below code won't work correctly - statistic may be wrong then.
<snip>
However we may want to improve this section ...
<snip
/* so if the current sequence number is less than the start one
* we assume, that there is another cycle running */
if ((pri->info_seq_num < rs->f_start_seq_nr) && (rs->f_under == FALSE)){
rs->f_cycles++;
rs->f_under = TRUE;
<snip?
In our case the second packet has a seq number lower than the first one (due to
high jitter). So f_cycles is wrongly incremented and we end up with 97% packet
loss. I think a simple check would be to see if 2 consecutive packets (or more)
have a lower value than the initial one.
Thanks,
Stephane.
