Isn't that called more like "guarantied bandwith" than "burst"?

How does a firewall allow the desireable SRTP packets to traverse it in the 
first place?

How would the packets being blocked explain asterisk showing replay errors and 
authentication failures?  Packets that aren't there can hardly cause such 
errors.

BTW, the VOIP provider is fixing or has fixed the problem now.  It turned out 
that they need or needed to update the firmware of some network adapters 
because the old firmware has been causing issues.  A test call showed no 
errors on both sides for over 45 minutes.
