Richard's right. UDP is used for transmission of RTP data. The frame size for audio and video packets is about 20-100ms, so dropouts are not a serious threat to communication security.
Cool I thought so, also if whole words went missing in an RTP stream wouldnt it be likely that it you were using a TCP connection that that sort of network interruption would cause the TCP connection to get disconnected, if it wasnt tho you would have the problem of creating a delay in the audio transmission that would get longer and longer as the converstation went on, better to loose the bits when you have connectivity problems in a live conversation than end up creating ever longer delays, it is a "live" conversation afterall.
