Signaling and Media Protocols

Question

The administrator of A&C company is troubleshooting a one-way audio issue for a call that uses H.323 protocol (slow-start mode). The administrator requests that you provide the IP and port information of the Real Time Transport Protocol traffic that had the one-way audio call. You gather the H.225 and H.245 messages for one of the one-way audio calls. Where can you find the RTP IP and port information for both sides? (Note: This call flow has not invoked any media resources like MTP or transcoders).

Explanation

In H.323 slow-start, media negotiation happens via H.245 signaling after the call is connected. The Open Logical Channel Acknowledgment (OLCAck) message is where each endpoint confirms its RTP receive address and port to the other side. Because both endpoints exchange OLC/OLCAck pairs (one for each direction of media), examining the OLCAck messages from both sides gives you the complete RTP IP and port mapping for both parties. The OLC itself proposes the channel, but the OLCAck contains the authoritative confirmed RTP destination. H.245 Terminal Capability Set only advertises codec support, and H.225 Connect contains no RTP details.
