Since packet loss is caused by network congestion, you could also change the codec to use a lower transmission rate to see if that reduces the loss. For example, the DVI codec is half the rate of PCM, but only slightly lower voice quality. Using DVI+DVI instead of PCM gives you the same transmission rate but much more resilience to packet loss (and would be good to use as a default in future versions of AccessGrid). Using GSM+GSM will noticeably reduce the voice quality, but again is more resilient to loss and will transmit at one third the rate of PCM without redundancy. Also, try adjusting the various repair options at the receiver, since those can make a different in how well packet loss is concealed. Colin
