RTCP Monitoring

RTCP is an IP protocol that is used to monitor the quality of RTP packets. Quality is measured in terms of delay, jitter, and packet loss.

If RTCP monitoring is enabled, the VoIP engines send RTCP packets to the RTCP monitor. You must configure an IP address for the RTCP monitor, and determine intervals at which the RTCP data is checked.

The following table lists the RTCP monitoring fields and their descriptions.
