 Hi !

  Thanks for your responses. @ martin.r.mathieson: I tried alot to understand but may be I dont have much expertise in this case :(.
  .Now I am doing like this that I have run wireshark on computer and computer is synchronized with ntp server. I am looking for interarrival calculation.

This is my readings from wireshark: (The IP addresses i mentioned is dummy one).

113.100.26.222 is computer
61.216.159.110 is asterisk server

 Please if you help me in telling that how can I calculated the Interarrival jitter in steps in that case. I shall be very thanksful to you.

Subject: Re: [Wireshark-users] End to End VoIP delay calculation

There is the RTCP roundtrip network propagation delay.  If the necessary reports are present and properly formatted, there will be an expert info item for any calculations that may be made. You will need to enable this calculation in the RTCP dissector preferences.

Here is the extract from RFC 3550, section 6.4.1, that describes how the calculation should be done:

delay since last SR (DLSR): 32 bits
The delay, expressed in units of 1/65536 seconds, between

receiving the last SR packet from source SSRC_n and sending this
reception report block. If no SR packet has been received yet
from SSRC_n, the DLSR field is set to zero.

Let SSRC_r denote the receiver issuing this receiver report.

Source SSRC_n can compute the round-trip propagation delay to
SSRC_r by recording the time A when this reception report block is
received. It calculates the total round-trip time A-LSR using the

last SR timestamp (LSR) field, and then subtracting this field to
leave the round-trip propagation delay as (A - LSR - DLSR). This



Schulzrinne, et al. Standards Track [Page 40]


RFC 3550 RTP July 2003


is illustrated in Fig. 2. Times are shown in both a hexadecimal
representation of the 32-bit fields and the equivalent floating-

point decimal representation. Colons indicate a 32-bit field
divided into a 16-bit integer part and 16-bit fraction part.

This may be used as an approximate measure of distance to cluster
receivers, although some links have very asymmetric delays.

As RTP in each direction is unacknowledged (you have a unidirectional stream going each direction) there is no way to determine end-to-delay from that. I think the best you can do is look at the SIP request/response time as an estimate.

 Hi!

  (Sorry for repeating my question)

 I am looking to calculate the end-to-end delay between two soft phone/hard phone. I have asterisk server and configured ntp server on the same machine and synchronized it with ntp pool.
 
 I have seen that Wireshark can be used to check the jitter. But I am not sure how can i calculate the end to end. 

May be this is not related to the mailing list topic but please help me if anyone has some information.

Regards,
