Florent Bertero is still having a problem:

Hello Didier,


Thanks for your quick reply.


I use iftop and my router as 2 different tools to mesure outgoing bandwith in 2 different cases.
    - When the tunnel is up and my call goes through the tunnel.
    - When the tunnel is down and my call goes directly to my voip switch.
In those 2 situations, I get the same results.


How can I tell my library to use RTP profiles?


Apart from the tunnel, what other way to compress rtp do I have?


Thanks again for your help.


Rgds
Florent
