Capture where the question is observable

A normal switch port does not show all other ports' unicast traffic. Use an authorized endpoint capture, switch mirror, network TAP or supported virtual capture path. For a border or relaying-PBX problem, paired observations on the relevant sides can reveal where addresses change or packets disappear. Record which direction each point can see; inside, outside, PBX and phone are locations, not media directions.

Confirm mirror direction and capacity. An overloaded mirror destination can drop copies even when production packets arrive successfully, and host offload can create checksum or segmentation artifacts not present on the wire. A capture gap is evidence about the capture until corroborated by another vantage point, interface counter or endpoint statistic.

Compare observations on both sides of a boundary
A phone sends through a firewall to a PBX. Capture A observes the LAN side and capture B the WAN side. Match signaling and media observations by time, call identifiers and direction.

Paired observations help locate a change or loss. Account for clock offset, NAT and capture drops before attributing a difference to the network.

Set scope before starting

Record the authorized test endpoints, incident window, expected signaling transport and likely topology before starting. A SIP-port-only capture filter can omit RTP, SRTP and signaling on another port. A host-only filter can miss direct media between endpoints. Begin broad enough to retain the complete call, then use display filters after collection; a display filter does not recover packets excluded at capture time.

Use synchronized clocks, a bounded duration and a rotating or size-limited output. Leave enough packet data for the intended decoder; truncated packets can prevent SDP or RTP interpretation. Record the interface, filter, snap length, file format, tool version and capture-drop counters with the file. Wireshark's pcapng format may be required when collecting multiple interfaces.

Correlate signaling and media

Preserve one exact dialog and match packets by Call-ID, tags, branches and content while allowing for NAT and back-to-back user agent transformations. Read the final SDP offer and answer on every call leg, then compare advertised receive addresses with observed packet sources and destinations. For RTP, separate streams by address, port, SSRC and payload mapping; inspect sequence progression and timestamps rather than treating a packet count as audio proof. Wireshark's VoIP Calls, RTP Streams and Stream Analysis views organize captured evidence but do not validate the endpoint's playout or microphone.

Keep encryption and absence claims bounded

SRTP is designed to add confidentiality, authentication and replay protection. A capture without the applicable keying context can still show useful network and timing metadata, but payload playback or decryption is not an expected acceptance step. Do not weaken the production security policy just to make a trace readable.

If an expected stream is absent, state not observed at this capture point rather than not sent until the interface, mirror direction, filter, dropped-packet counters and actual direct-media or relay path have been checked at a second point.

Protect and close the evidence

Stop the capture after the controlled test, record the incident time range and secure the original. SIP headers, SDP, numbers, addresses, credentials and media can be sensitive even when some transport is encrypted. Share only an access-controlled, minimally sufficient redacted extract, preserving an integrity hash or immutable original when the incident process requires it. Document what each vantage point could not see before using the capture to justify a configuration change.

Validate a dialplan header against one bounded response

The PJSIP response-header diagnostic correlates the function result with one sanitized 200 response by Call-ID and CSeq before changing dialplan ownership.
