Summary

Tests for the SIP_Trunk SIP trunk product of the provider Voztelecom were completed. Test results have been last updated on April 30th, 2021. Check the history of this article for the date of the first publication of the testreport. <internal>Provider SBC: </internal>


List of Issues found in media-relay Configuration

CLNS ONNET
Onnet-Calls (that is, within the provider's network) do not allow foreign calling party numbers (CGPN). In other words, clip no screening is not possible for on-net calls.
CLNS
Outgoing calls cannot be sent with a foreign calling party number (CLI).
FAX T38 ONNET
The provider does not support T.38 fax for onnet calls.
FAX T38
The provider does not fully support T.38 fax
FAX T38ANDAUDIO
The provider does not support fallback to audio-fax if T.38 fails.
REDIR 302
The provider does not support external call redirection using the SIP 302 Redirect response
REVERSE MEDIA
The provider does not support reverse media negotiation (a.k.a. late SDP)
SIP INFO
The provider does not support conveying DTMF using the SIP-INFO method.
XFER CONS EXT
The provider does not fully support external consultation call transfer scenarios.
Our tests of this feature have shown unstable results (that is, the feature sometimes worked and sometimes did not). This may for example be caused by different equipment used at the provider side (e.g. media gateways) which behave differently.

Here is the list of test-cases that have been performed for this provider: 180_RINGING, BASIC_CALL, CLIR, CLNS_ONNET, CLNS, CONN_NR_DIFF, CONN_NR_INCOMING, CONN_NR, DTMF, EARLY_MEDIA_INBOUND, FAX_AUDIO, FAX_T38_ONNET, FAX_T38, FAX_T38ANDAUDIO, G711A_ONNET, G711A, G711U_ONNET, G711U, G722_ONNET, G722, G729_ONNET, G729, HOLD_RETRIEVE, IP_FRAGMENTATION, LARGE_SIP_MESSAGES, MOBILITY, OPUS_NB, OPUS_WB, RALERT_DISC, REDIR_302, REDIR_DIVHDR, REDIR_HISTHDR, REVERSE_MEDIA, SDP_ICE, SDP_RTCP_MUX, SDP_VIDEO, SIP_INFO, SRTP_INCOMING, SRTP_INTERNAL, SRTP_OUTGOING, SUBSCRIBER_NR, XFER_BLIND, XFER_CONS_ALERT, XFER_CONS_EXT, XFER_CONS


Test Results

This SIP provider requires a media-relay configuration. That is, all media traffic between the SIP provider and all endpoints must flow through the SBC. For this reason, a configuration without media-relay has not been tested and hence no test results for this configuration are listed.

Configuration with media-relay

Registration
The provider supports only UDP as transport protocol. As a result, the SIP-communication is not encrypted(TLS). Moreover it requires all involved network elements to support IP-fragmentation.
NAT Traversal
The provider detects clients behind NAT and can handle calls to them without requiring the clients to use NAT-traversal methods like STUN.
DTMF (RFC2833)
The provider can convey DTMF digits using the RTP payload method as per RFC2833.
Session Timer
The tests regarding the SIP-session timer were not successful. This will result in unwanted call termination on calls exceeding a certain time (default 30 minutes). Because of this, further tests were aborted.
Redundancy
Registration of two SIP-interfaces on the same SIP-account is not supported by the provider. As a result, you cannot have a Standby gateway/PBX using the same account for failover or load-balancing purposes.
Correct signalling of Ringing-state
OK
CLIR
OK
Clip No Screening (CLNS)
CLIP no screening (CLNS) is not possible, that is, outgoing calls can only have the own subscriber number (or extension), no foreign numbers as calling line id. This affects for example externally forwarded and mobility calls.
COLP
Outbound and inbound calls to/from the PSTN show the correct connected number.
For outbound calls to the PSTN, an update of the connected number is not signalled to the caller.
Early-Media
The provider supports early-media for outbound calls (hence inbound early media) to the PSTN.
Fax
Transport of faxes to/from the PSTN via G.711 codec was tested successfully. However, all fax endpoints must be configured with exclusive codec "G711A".
Transport of faxes using T.38 failed to PSTN and onnet destinations. Moreover fallback to audio-fax failed also.
As a result, T.38 is disabled on the SIP-interface and the use of audio-fax is necessary.
Codecs
supported to/from PSTN: G711A, G711U, G722 and G729
supported onnet (VoIP to VoIP): G711A, G711U, G722 and G729
IP-Fragmentation
OK
Large SIP messages
OK
Reverse Media Negotiation
Reverse-media negotiation is not supported. Therefore, a media-relay with exclusive coder configuration will be activated on the SIP-interface.
Mobility Calls
Transmitting DTMF-tones as SIP-INFO messages is not supported, however mobility calls are still possible as in the media-relay configuration, the SBC will convey DTMF signalling to the PBX.
SRTP
The provider does not support audio encryption using SRTP.
Dialing of Subscriber Numbers
OK
Call Transfer
The provider does not handle externally transferred calls.


Configuration

Use profile ES-Voztelecom-SIP_Trunk in Gateway/Interfaces/SIP to configure this SIP provider.

Please note the following configuration hints:

  • FAX requires exclusive G711A codec
A most recent v13r3 firmware is required to use this SIP-profile. For hints regarding upgrade to v13r3, see Howto:V13_Firmware_Upgrade_V13r2_V13r3

New profiles are added in the course of our V13R3 software Service Releases, see Reference13r3:Release Notes Firmware. Here is an up to date list of tested SIP providers.

Disclaimer

These tests look at a number of interoperability scenarios between innovaphone SIP devices and a given SIP trunk product. As we are enhancing our testing procedures, nature and number of these tests will vary.

All test results document the fact how the tested combination performs in the tested scenario. It explicitly does not comment on the question what the reason is for the behaviour nor if and how it could be changed. It thus does not imply that either the SIP trunk provider or the innovaphone device fails in any way. It merely says that the combination does not perform as defined by the test.

If not mentioned otherwise, all tests are repeated on a weekly basis (a.k.a. nightly tests) using the then-current innovaphone firmware. If a tested combination keeps performing differently from the state documented here during nightly tests, we reserve the right to update this article accordingly.

Some tests do not have consistent results. This may occur for various reasons. If so, we document the tests result as being unstable.

Some of the tested SIP trunk products are not available for nightly tests. In this case, the fact will be noted in the Summary section.
