1 The present package includes a utility named rtp-gsmfr-extr; this utility
2 extracts a single RTP stream in either FR1 or EFR codec format from a pcap file,
3 presumably captured with tcpdump on an IP network serving either an IP-based BTS
4 or a gateway from an E1-based BTS to RTP - the intent is to extract a GSM call
5 uplink that has been rendered into an RTP stream by a BTS. The RTP stream being
6 extracted must be fully continuous without any gaps, using Themyscira
7 RTP-BFI-extension BFI marker packets in those 20 ms windows where no good
8 traffic frame has been received. rtp-gsmfr-extr verifies continuity of the RTP
9 stream being extracted: any detected discontinuity (either a sequence number
10 jump indicating packet loss or a timestamp jump indicating an intentional gap
11 generated at the source) will be reported, and the extraction will stop there.
12
13 To run rtp-gsmfr-extr, you need to have a pcap file (obviously), and you need to
14 identify the RTP stream to be extracted by either source or destination IP:port.
15 rtp-gsmfr-extr will look at every UDP packet that matches this src-IP-port or
16 dest-IP-port filter, and then check for valid RTP, verify the expected increment
17 in sequence and timestamp numbers, check for either FR1 or EFR payload (or a
18 Themyscira BFI marker for FR & EFR), and finally write the extracted frame
19 stream to a gsmx file. This gsmx output can then be analyzed with gsmrec-dump,
20 or decoded to playable WAV with gsmfr-decode or gsmefr-decode.
