We are occasionally running into a situation where our IP Header TTL expires in transit for RTP streams. It has been our observation that our SBC B2BUA that anchors media is not resetting the TTL on RTP packets but is on SIP packets. Is there a standard expected behavior for how SBC B2BUA with media anchoring might handle RTP packets? I would have thought if it resets the SIP packet TTL it would also reset the RTP packet TTL. Thoughts?

I am seeing 64 on our endpoints like polycoms vvx and adtrans TA908, etc. On our carrier switches I am seeing 256. It's very specific call flows that will exhibit this behavior, more corner case stuff but we are observing it nonetheless. On Mon, Feb 11, 2019 at 9:11 AM Glen Gerhard <glen at cognexus.net> wrote:
Hi Jeff,
The B2BUA is a signaling function, not necessarily an IP layer function. Yes, some SBCs may give you the ability to modify the TTL but I'd look more at the Gateway/IP Phone configuration.
What is the TTL being sent out by the end device? Some of those are defaulted to absurdly low TTL, I've seen as low as 16. In general that is where they configuration should be changed.
