Media Transport
• RTP
– Real Time Transport Protocol
– media packet transport
– One stream per direction between endpoints
• RTCP
– RTP Control Protocol
– Provides quality information
– Generate reports to the network

RTCP Packet
• Receiver of RTP stream
sends periodic updates
to the originator
• Packet count
• Byte count
• Packet loss
• Timestamps to assess
round-trip delay
• Jitter
RTP Packet Payload size
Function of: codec speed, frame-size
Frequency packets sent
Payload size =
codec speed X frame size
8 X 1000
bits/byte
msec / sec
Example: g.711, 20 ms frames: 64000 bps X 20 msec / 8 = 160 byte payload
Media Stream (RTP) Bandwidth:
Packet size := Header + Payload
Header := Ethernet + (IP + UDP + RTP) = 38 + (20 + 8 + 12) = 38 + 40 bytes
Payload := depends on codec
Example: g.711, 20 ms frames (50 packets/s)
160 byte payload + (38 + 40) byte header
IP bandwidth: 200 byte/packet = 80,000 bps  160 kbps for 2 way
Ethernet bandwidth: 238 byte/packet = 95,2000 bps  190.4 kbps for 2 way
•
Ethernet: Preamble (8) + Ethernet Header (14) + Ethernet CRC (4) + Inter-frame gap (12) = 38

Frame Number
Video Formats (IP vs. 3G)
• High resolution for IP networks
– More bandwidth available
– SIP Video Phones are generally CIF size (352 × 288 pixels)
– Recommended: CIF, 15 or 30fps, up to 384kbps
• Low resolution for 3G networks
– Total bandwidth limited to 64kbps
– Generally video + audio is approx 52kbps (12.2kbps AMR + 40kbps
H263)
– 3G Mobile phones are generally QCIF size (176 × 144 pixels)

Performance Issues
• Propagation Delay
Time required to travel end to end across the network
• Transport Delay
Time required to traverse network equipment
• Packetization Delay
Time to digitize, build frames and undo at destination
• Jitter Delay
Fixed delay by receiver to hold 1 or more packets to damp
variations in arrival times
• Packet Loss
Packet size impacts sound quality
Jitter Delay
• Calculated on inter-arrival time of successive packets
– Average inter-arrival time
– Standard deviation
• Goal inter-arrival time = inter-arrival time on emitted
packets
• 3 phenomena effecting jitter
– Packet loss (threshold 5%)
– Silence suppression
– Out of sequence packets
• Can be configured on most VoIP equipment
Packet Fragmentation
• Audio RTP packets
– Not generally fragmented since packet size is less
than MTU
• Video RTP packets
– A large frame is fragmented into a series of packets
for transmission over network
– I-Frame fragmentation
• Receiver must receive all fragments to properly reconstruct
frame
Packet Loss
• Audio
– Packet Loss Concealment (PLC)
• Mask effect of lost or discarded packets
• Replay previous packet or use previous packets to estimate missing
data
• Key method for improving voice quality
– Packet Loss Recovery (PLR)
– Packet Redundancy
• Increased bandwidth
• Video
– I-Frame
• If a fragment is lost, subsequent P-Frames will not be sufficient to
reconstruct image at receiver
• Video conversion tools available to generate files more suitable for
real-time transmission

Network Issues?
Network Issues – Now What
• Determine the source of delay
– Codec’s?
– Too many hops?
– Not enough bandwidth?
• Define means to reduce delay
– Provision smaller packet sizes
– Reduce hop count
– Change routing protocols used
• Keep monitoring
– Find problems first
– Objectively identify issues
IP Header
Traffic Shaping
• DiffServ
• RSVP
• MPLS
Conclusion
• Reliability
– Can calls be made when needed?
– Will call setup time match current environment?
– Will calls be disconnected?
• Quality
– Is the voice quality of the calls the same?
– Can the users tell the difference?
• Cost
– What are the cost benefits of VoIP?
– What equipment will be needed?
