Forced RTCP Receiver Report Generation

When the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (OCSBC) generates a Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP) Sender Report using Digital Signalling Processors (DSP)s, the report includes blocks for both sender and receiver statistics in the same report per RFC 3550. When you want to generate a separate RTCP Receiver Report, for example to encapsulate the receiver statistics differently, add the xcode-gratuitous-rtcp-report-generation option in the media-manager configuration. After you add the RTCP Receiver Report generation option and reboot the OCSBC, the system runs RTCP Receiver Reports for all media sessions that generate RTCP from DSPs.

Only systems with transcoding resources can support RTCP Receiver Reports.

The OCSBC can send RTCP sender reports and receiver reports:
  • for media streams.
  • for media streams with IPv6 Media Bypass OFF.
  • when the end point places a call on hold.
  • when the system plays music on hold.
  • for every secure call for every media stream the OCSBC receives and sends using TLS and SRTP.
  • for every secure call for every media stream the OCSBC receives and sends using TLS and SRTP with IPv6 Media Bypass OFF.

You can configure xcode-gratuitous-rtcp-report-generation from the ACLI and the Web GUI.
