VAD
Voice Activity Detection (speech detection) is a technique used in speech processing
to detect the presence or absence of human speech in regions of audio. In VoIP ap-
plications, VAD is mainly used to avoid unnecessary coding and transmission of silence
packets, saving on computation and network bandwidth.

DTMF
DTMF (Dual-tone multi-frequency) signalling is used for telephone signalling over the
line to the phone switch or PBX.
If the device itself generates the tones and they are sent in the voice-frequency band,
the method is called
Inband
. This is not the best method when using VoIP. Low bit rate

them.
RFC 2833
is a method of carrying DTMF signals in RTP packets using a separate RTP
payload format. With this method a PSTN gateway reproduces the DTMF tones sent
from the end device.
With
SIP Info
the DTMF signals are sent as SIP requests. The SIP switch creates the
tones if the call is transferred to the PSTN.
Use RFC 2833 or SIP Info as preferred methods. Switch to inband only if you encounter
problems using DTMF signalling with your PBX/SIP switch.
