RE: match protocol rtp audio

Chris,

Thanks for bearing with us on this topic.

If I need to match voice traffic, do I need to include RTCP as well?

IOW, if I use an acl to match the signaling traffic (tcp port 1720) and use
match ip rtp 16384 16383 to capture the voice payload packets, will I have
achieved the needed results?

TIA, Tim

Well, presuming we are talking about entries in a class-map, the first
does not exist, match ip rtp 16384 16383 does :) and that does not match
RTCP, as it only matches even numbered ports in the defined range.

Match protocol rtp audio also does not match RTCP

To match odd and even ports to capture RTCP I think you'd have to use
the ACL option.

Chris, et.al.

What tim and I are wondering for NBAR is this:

Match protocol ip rtp 16384 16383

AND

Match protocol rtp audio

We know that the first doesn't match RTCP. What about the second?

RTP has payload and control packets (referred to as RTCP), H.323 is
completely separate.

RTP for voice uses the range 16384 to 32767
RTP for video uses 49152 to 65535

There is a significant difference between the two methods you describe.
The NBAR RTP Payload Classification feature does not identify RTCP
packets, whereas the ACL will, as it matches on both even and odd
numbered ports within the range. RTCP packets run on odd-numbered ports
while RTP packets run on even-numbered ports.

Hi guys,
 
Can someone confirm this:
 
access-list 100 permit udp any any range 16384 32767 = match prot rtp
audio
 
And, match prot rtp audio doesn't include the control H323 signaling
(tcp any any eq 1720).
 
The Doc-CD is about as clear as mud on this:
 
<quote>
 
audio: Specifies matching by audio payload-type values in the range of 0
to 23. These payload-type values are reserved for audio traffic.
 
<endquote>
