Voice Packetization, Codecs and Voice Quality
Mayelana nale ebook
The "nuts and bolts" of Voice over IP:
• How voice is digitized and coded,
• Time stamps applied with the RTP protocol, and
• How the result is carried in UDP, IP packets and MAC frames.
You'll learn about codecs and compression, and understand factors like delay, jitter and packet loss, what causes them, and how they affect sound quality.
