Configuring Voice over IP for Cisco MC3810 Series Concentrators 7
Figure 1 RTP Header Compression
You should configure RTP header compression if the following conditions exist in your network:
• Slow links
• Need to save bandwidth
Note RTP header compression should not be used on links greater than 2 Mbps.
Perform the following tasks to configure RTP header compression for Voice over IP. The first task is
required; the second task is optional.
• Enable RTP Header Compression on a Serial Interface
• Change the Number of Header Compression Connections
Enable RTP Header Compression on a Serial Interface
To use RTP header compression, you need to enable compression on both ends of a serial
connection. To enable RTP header compression, use the following command in interface
configuration mode:
If you include the passivekeyword,the software compresses outgoing RTP packets only if incoming
RTP packets on the same interface are compressed. If you use the command without the passive
keyword, the software compresses all RTP traffic.
Command Purpose
router(config-if)# ip rtp header-compression
[passive]
Enable RTP header compression.
