jitter buffer is adaptive and configurable for different network environments.
When packets are lost, a concealment algorithm minimizes the resulting
negative audio consequences.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:
Voice Activity Detection
The purpose of voice activity detection (VAD) is to conserve network
bandwidth by detecting periods of relative “silence” in the transmit data path
and replacing that silence efficiently with special packets that indicate silence
is occurring. For those compression algorithms without an inherent VAD
function, such as G.711, the phone is compatible with the comprehensive
codec-independent comfort noise transmission algorithm specified in RFC
3389. This algorithm is derived from G.711 Appendix II, which defines a
comfort noise (CN) payload format (or bit-stream) for G.711 use in
packet-based, multimedia communication systems. The phone generates CN
packets (also known as Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID) frames) and also
decodes CN packets, efficiently regenerating a facsimile of the background
noise at the remote end.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:
DTMF Tone Generation
The phone generates dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones in response to
user dialing on the dial pad. These tones are transmitted in the real-time
transport protocol (RTP) streams of connected calls. The phone can encode the
