RTP out of seq/wrong timestamp

0

I have a co-worker setting up a paging system via SIP/RTP and they are seeing/hearing issues with a delay between the page beep and when the voice is heard. They wiresharked it and saw a small amount of wrong timestamp errors on their RTP stream analysis. e.g. 2 packets (1.9%)out of a 5 second call. They are concerned about this and think the network is at fault. However this is UDP, thus connectionless and makes no guarantees on when or how the packets can get to the end device.

I am not sure how to proceed as I am a wireshark noob :) Any help would be appreciated!

So I have seen that this could be a bug in wireshark. I am not sure if the bug has been addressed yet. I see this time stamp errors when I run > RTP stream analysis I see no errors, when I click on the player button on the rtp stream analysis window and then decode I get to the RTP player which there it shows that I have the errors.

So, which window do I believe? Or is it a bug?

Thanks in advance!!
