Switching to a different gateway after that point is one of the most dangerous misconfigurations in VoIP operations \u2014 it tears down the established media path, creating one-way audio, ghost calls, and corrupted billing records. The <strong>VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover<\/strong> parameter, SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START, is the critical safeguard that prevents this catastrophe by locking the selected gateway once RTP packets are detected. Understanding and correctly configuring this parameter is essential for any production VOS3000 deployment. \ud83d\udd12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2699\ufe0f By default, SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START is set to <strong>On<\/strong>, which means VOS3000 will stop switching gateways as soon as it detects RTP packets flowing through the media proxy. This is the correct and recommended setting for virtually all deployments. When this parameter is Off, VOS3000 may continue trying other gateways even after the audio path is established, which can result in the caller hearing silence while the callee continues speaking into a dead media stream. The VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover mechanism ensures that once audio is flowing, the call stays on the current gateway regardless of other failover conditions. \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf This guide provides a complete, manual-verified reference for the SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START parameter.

When VOS3000 decides to switch to a different gateway, it tears down the current call leg and establishes a new one with the next gateway. If RTP was already flowing on the old leg, the audio path is destroyed in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Problem<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Cause<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Impact<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83d\udd07 One-way audio<\/td><td>RTP stream torn down on old gateway, new gateway not yet established<\/td><td>\ud83d\udd34 Caller or callee hears silence while the other side can still speak<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83d\udc7b Ghost calls<\/td><td>Old gateway continues RTP without SIP control channel<\/td><td>\ud83d\udd34 Callee continues conversation with no one on the line<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83d\udcb0 Billing corruption<\/td><td>CDR records split across two gateways for one conversation<\/td><td>\ud83d\udd34 Double billing or missing billing for partial call segments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83d\udcca Media resource waste<\/td><td>Old RTP stream not properly terminated on switch<\/td><td>\ud83d\udd34 Media proxy port held open, reducing available capacity<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udea8 <strong>The one-way audio cascade:<\/strong> When RTP is flowing and a gateway switch occurs, the SIP signaling is redirected to the new gateway, but the RTP stream on the old gateway may continue for several seconds before timing out.

When &#8216;Switch gateway until connect&#8217; is on, if received RTP packet, stop switch gateway.&#8221; This means that even when you enable aggressive failover (SWITCH_UNTIL_CONNECT = On), the RTP lock-in still takes effect.

Without media proxy, the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover cannot detect RTP packet flow and therefore cannot enforce the lock-in condition. When media proxy is disabled, VOS3000 does not observe the RTP stream between the caller and gateway, and therefore cannot detect when RTP starts flowing.

The VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover protection is only as reliable as your media proxy configuration. When media proxy is Off, you must rely on the protocol-level stop conditions (Stop switch after OLC for H.323, Stop switch after SDP for SIP) which are less reliable because they detect signaling state rather than actual media flow.

This means that by default, VOS3000 will stop switching gateways once RTP media packets are detected flowing through the media proxy. This is the correct and recommended setting for all production deployments. The default of On reflects the VOS3000 design philosophy that audio integrity should never be sacrificed for additional failover attempts. The VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover is a cornerstone of this philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-does-rtp-lock-in-work-without-media-proxy\">\u2753 Does RTP lock-in work without media proxy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udce1 No, the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover mechanism requires the media proxy to be active for the call. Without media proxy, VOS3000 has no visibility into the RTP media stream and cannot detect when RTP starts flowing. In this scenario, SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START has no effect because the detection trigger (RTP packet observation) never fires. If you must run without media proxy, rely on the protocol-level stop conditions instead: &#8220;Stop switch gateway after OLC&#8221; for H.323 and &#8220;Stop switch gateway after receive SDP&#8221; for SIP, which detect the signaling indication of media negotiation rather than actual RTP flow. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/multahost.com\/blog\/vos3000-rtp-media\/\">RTP media proxy guide<\/a> for detailed media proxy configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-does-rtp-lock-in-override-ss-gateway-switch-until-connect\">\u2753 Does RTP lock-in override SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_UNTIL_CONNECT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd04 Yes, the VOS3000 manual explicitly states: &#8220;This option is NOT affected by &#8216;Switch gateway until connect&#8217;. When &#8216;Switch gateway until connect&#8217; is on, if received RTP packet, stop switch gateway.&#8221; This means that even when you enable aggressive failover mode (SWITCH_UNTIL_CONNECT = On), the RTP lock-in still takes priority. The VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover is absolute once RTP media is flowing, the call stays on the current gateway \u2014 aggressive mode cannot override the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover. This is a deliberate safety design to prevent the catastrophic audio problems that would result from switching after media establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-what-is-the-difference-between-rtp-lock-in-and-sdp-stop\">\u2753 What is the difference between RTP lock-in and SDP stop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccb <strong>RTP lock-in<\/strong> (SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START) detects actual RTP media packets flowing through the media proxy. <strong>SDP stop<\/strong> (SS_SIP_STOP_SWITCH_AFTER_SDP) detects the SIP signaling indication that media negotiation has completed (the presence of SDP in a response). RTP lock-in is more reliable because it confirms that media is actually flowing, not just that the signaling has negotiated a media path. The VOS3000 manual states that the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover &#8220;priors to&#8221; the protocol-level SDP stop, meaning VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover takes higher priority when both conditions are present. For SIP-specific stop configuration, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/multahost.com\/blog\/vos3000-sip-session\/\">SIP session guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-can-i-disable-rtp-lock-in-for-testing-purposes\">\u2753 Can I disable RTP lock-in for testing purposes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\uddea Technically yes, you can set SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START to Off, but this should only be done in a controlled lab environment for specific testing scenarios. Disabling the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover in production will cause one-way audio and ghost calls whenever a gateway switch occurs after media establishment. The VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover should never be disabled on live systems. If you need to test failover behavior without RTP lock-in, do so on a dedicated test system with no production traffic, and re-enable it immediately after testing. Never disable this parameter on a production VOS3000 system that handles live calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-how-do-i-verify-rtp-lock-in-is-working-correctly\">\u2753 How do I verify RTP lock-in is working correctly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcca To verify the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover is working, check the following: (1) Confirm SS_GATEWAY_SWITCH_STOP_AFTER_RTP_START is set to On in system parameters. (2) Verify media proxy mode is Auto or Always On. (3) Place a test call through a gateway and observe the CDR \u2014 there should be no gateway switching events after the call is connected and RTP is flowing. (4) Check the softswitch logs for any &#8220;switch gateway&#8221; events that occur after RTP start \u2014 if none are found, the VOS3000 RTP lock-in failover is working correctly.
