Voice over IP (VoIP)
Fundamentals
110
When a call is set up, the terminals involved negotiate the voice-data compression
(“codec”) that will be used. This is the first factor that determines the achievable
quality level:
■
G.711
A-Law or µ-Law (Level 1, uncompressed): The audio data of a PCM
channel (64 kbit/s) is adopted one-to-one. Every VoIP terminal must support
this codec. This codec can not be used with an ISDN data connection.
■
G.729A
(Level 2): Reduction to approximately 8 kbit/s.
■
G.723.1 6.3
(Level 3): Reduction to 6.3 kbit/s.
■
G.723.1 5.3
(Level 3): Reduction to 5.3 kbit/s.
Unfavourable packet length selection may reduce voice quality. The duration of
the recording and not the data packet’s byte count is relevant in making this
selection:
■
Duration <= 30 ms: optimal transmission
■
Duration 40 - 60 ms: one quality-level depreciation
■
Duration > 60 ms: two quality-levels depreciation
The achievable voice quality also depends on the packet propagation delay and
the packet loss between the terminals involved. These parameters can be deter-
mined using the “ping” programme.
Note:
Measurements made with “ping” are round-trip prop-
agation delays. Divide the maximum value displayed by two.
