Re: [asterisk-users] New thread - SIP over VPN

2009-09-26 Thread Frank Bulk
Depending on the latency, wrapping the UDP stream into a TCP-based tunnel can be good -- if the VPN tunnel occasionally drops a packet, the tunnel will re-transmit the UDP packet. Of course, if the (one-way) latency is too high, the re-transmitted payload will arrive outside the jitter buffer and

Re: [asterisk-users] New thread - SIP over VPN

Resending is not a waste if the re-transmitted packet can arrive within the jitter buffer window. Practically speaking, though, since UDP packets are generally not retransmitted (unless it's within some kind of TCP-based tunnel), it's a moot point. Frank -Original Message- From:

If the users' understanding of jitter is technically correct, and they're complaining about quality issues (due to jitter or packet loss), then lowering the jitter buffer isn't going to help. An ADSL link, depending on the sync rate, can have 40+ msec of latency between the DSL modem and DSLAM.
