# What is rtpengine?
|
|
|
|
The [Sipwise](http://www.sipwise.com/) NGCP rtpengine is a proxy for RTP traffic and other UDP based
|
|
media traffic. It's meant to be used with the [Kamailio SIP proxy](http://www.kamailio.org/)
|
|
and forms a drop-in replacement for any of the other available RTP and media
|
|
proxies.
|
|
|
|
Currently the only supported platform is GNU/Linux.

## Features
|
|
|
|
* Media traffic running over either IPv4 or IPv6
|
|
* Bridging between IPv4 and IPv6 user agents
|
|
* Bridging between different IP networks or interfaces
|
|
* TOS/QoS field setting
|
|
* Customizable port range
|
|
* Multi-threaded
|
|
* Advertising different addresses for operation behind NAT
|
|
* In-kernel packet forwarding for low-latency and low-CPU performance
|
|
* Automatic fallback to normal userspace operation if kernel module is unavailable
|
|
* Support for *Kamailio*'s *rtpproxy* module
|
|
* Legacy support for old *OpenSER* *mediaproxy* module
|
|
* HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket (WS and WSS) interfaces
|
|
|
|
When used through the *rtpengine* module (or its older counterpart called *rtpproxy-ng*),
|
|
the following additional features are available:
|
|
|
|
- Full SDP parsing and rewriting
|
|
- Supports non-standard RTCP ports (RFC 3605)
|
|
- ICE (RFC 5245) support:
|
|
+ Bridging between ICE-enabled and ICE-unaware user agents
|
|
+ Optionally acting only as additional ICE relay/candidate
|
|
+ Optionally forcing relay of media streams by removing other ICE candidates
|
|
+ Optionally act as an "ICE lite" peer only
|
|
- SRTP (RFC 3711) support:
|
|
+ Support for SDES (RFC 4568) and DTLS-SRTP (RFC 5764)
|
|
+ AES-CM and AES-F8 ciphers, both in userspace and in kernel
|
|
+ HMAC-SHA1 packet authentication
|
|
+ Bridging between RTP and SRTP user agents
|
|
+ Opportunistic SRTP (RFC 8643)
|
|
+ Legacy non-RFC (dual `m=` line) best-effort SRTP
|
|
+ AES-GCM Authenticated Encryption (AEAD) (RFC 7714)
|
|
+ `a=tls-id` as per RFC 8842
|
|
- Support for RTCP profile with feedback extensions (RTP/AVPF, RFC 4585 and 5124)
|
|
- Arbitrary bridging between any of the supported RTP profiles (RTP/AVP, RTP/AVPF,
|
|
RTP/SAVP, RTP/SAVPF)
|
|
- RTP/RTCP multiplexing (RFC 5761) and demultiplexing
|
|
- Breaking of BUNDLE'd media streams (draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation)
|
|
- Recording of media streams, decrypted if possible
|
|
- Transcoding and repacketization
|
|
- Transcoding between RFC 2833/4733 DTMF event packets and in-band DTMF tones (and vice versa)
|
|
- Injection of DTMF events or PCM DTMF tones into running audio streams
|
|
- Playback of pre-recorded streams/announcements
|
|
- Transcoding between T.38 and PCM (G.711 or other audio codecs)
|
|
- Silence detection and comfort noise (RFC 3389) payloads
|
|
* Media forking
|
|
* Publish/subscribe mechanism for N-to-N media forwarding
|
|
|
|
There is also limited support for *rtpengine* to be used as a drop-in
|
|
replacement for *Janus* using the native Janus control protocol (see below).
|
|
|
|
*Rtpengine* does not (yet) support:
|
|
|
|
* ZRTP, although ZRTP passes through *rtpengine* just fine
|
