So to answer my own questions: Yes, in v1.11 the UDP code changed to always create exact-match conversations, in r53641, in order to support a new 'udp.stream' display filter.
Unfortunately that breaks any early-media scenarios for SIP calls. Luckily the SIP/SDP/RTP stuff needs to be re-done anyway, because there are too many problems with the current model of waiting until the SDP answer to install the media flow info. The RTP conversations have to be installed by the SDP offer, which will avoid the problem of UDP creating a new exact-match conversation. So nothing to see here... move along... -hadriel On Mar 4, 2014, at 10:06 PM, Hadriel Kaplan <hadriel.kap...@oracle.com> wrote: > Howdy, > I've been looking into bug 9835, which involves SIP+SDP setting up RTP > conversations/flows.
