Setting VoIP Codecs
The default codec for static IP extensions is G.711 with 64 kbps for voice
packets. This is appropriate for lease lines or high-speed connections. The
default codec for dynamic IP extensions is G.723 with 6.3 kbps. This is
appropriate for internet connections. For voice, G.723 AB uses 8 kpbs.
G.711/G.723/G729 bandwidth requirements for Ethernet:
— G711 10ms packet frame ≅ 110 kbps
— G711 20ms packet frame ≅ 87 kbps
— G711 30ms packet frame ≅ 80 kbps
— G723 30ms packet frame 6.4k rate ≅ 22 kbps
— G729 20ms packet frame ≅ 31 kbps
— G729 30ms packet frame ≅ 24 kbps
Note:
Bandwidth for WAN varies depending on the type of WAN
connection. Bandwidth requirements for WAN should be less than
Ethernet requirements.
