I found some minor references to it through here:

http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ast_rtp_read%3 ... too+short+

and landed here:
http://www.asterisk.org/forum/viewtopic ... 1491283119

Where it would seem that you need to give us a wee bit more information. Heavy load? Calls dropping? Bad voice quality? or is this on a clean system making only one call at a time?

The obvious solution in the above reference (which was from a previous user of this site) was to add capacity. Apparently it turned out to be heavy load causing partial packets and this error was being tossed.

In a way it would almost be nice if that were "automatic" ... heavy load = "ast_rtp_read: RTP Read too short" so we could all just set a watchdog for this error and add a new server to the cluster when it appears. LOL
