Something sounds fishy here. Asterisk sends out 50 packets a second of audio(20ms). If your numbers above are per channel, you achieved a 10k reduction in 50 packets, or 204.8 bytes average per packet. Since a GSM audio packet contains 33 bytes of audio, this large header compression sounds fishy. If you are talking bits, not bytes, then it isn't that impressive. You still will probably find more efficiency in IAX. Try it and tell us your results before shooting it down. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
