How this is counted I understand depends on the codec in use. For some codec's probably a simply count of the RTP packets received with the marker bit set would be ok. I'm still a bit naive about this stuff, so could you explain it in excruitating detail for some example codec? IE if you have an SSRC that is switched between g.711 and comfort noise, we could count the packets with each payload type, but that's not the same data as "periods of silence suppression" - for that, we would have to count the number of times a CN packet arrived after a G.711 packet. I don't know how we would do this with OPUS. Another question .... what's the use case - ie what decision do you want to make based on this data?
