Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Why does wireshark decode my RTP data as "RTP Events"?

Hi Nan Xiao,

Payload type 101 is dynamic, which means it can be any codec, but it has to be defined during the signalling phase of the call. However, it is often used for DTMF codes, that's why the rtpevent dissector registers itself on RTP payload type 101. You can overrule that setting by going into the RTP event protocol preferences and choose another value or you can disable the rtpevent protocol altogether (temporarily). Please note however, that without the call setup, wireshark will not know which codec is used for payload type 101 and can only display the RTP header, but not play back the audio.

Cheers,
Met vriendelijke groet,
