Annex D is the 6.4kbit (lower bitrate with also a lower voice quality) As far as i know the Digium g729 asterisk codecs are annex A only (might have changed since i haven't checked for a while) and all tests where done using them > > On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 11:04 PM, Stelios Koroneos > <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 2012-07-16 at 11:11 +0200, Martin Vit wrote: > > The short answer is no you can't get 32 *concurrent* > channels > > on a > > 250kbps uplink > > > > With G729 as a codec you need around 32kbits per > channel > > including the > > overheads from the voip protocol and tcp etc, so > that would > > give you > > around 7 *concurrent* channels. > > > > > > You are slightly wrong - G729 is 8kbit stream and the UDP > overhead for > > 20ms packetization is alltogether 25Kbit stream.
