  • Black: traffic from and to Trixbox #1
  • Red: traffic between the 2 Windows machines running X-lite

From the graph shown above there can be concluded that indeed the two X-Lite machines are only connected to their own Trixbox, i.e. there is no direct traffic between the two X-Lite machines.

In the screenshot below, the following events were measured:

  • @4 sec: Video was turned on

Legenda:

  • Black: traffic from and to Trixbox #1
  • Red: traffic between the 2 Windows machines running X-lite
  • Green: traffic between laptop #1 and its Asterisk
  • Blue: traffic between the two Asterisk PBX's
  • Pink: traffic between Windows machine #1 and its Asterisk

The following graph shows the traffic is almost constant. Till 35sec the conversation included audio and video. The rest is audio-only.
