Data and Voice Networking Overview
Voice Codecs
The following tables specify the required data rate per call and direction for both VoIP and
VoFR calls using the most popular voice codecs. For the user traffic estimation use the tables
below:
-
For VoIP connections: use columns 'IP Bit rate w/o ROHC' or 'ROHC Bit rate' of table 2-1.
-
For VoFR connections: use columns 'IDU Input Data Rate' of table 2-2.
The columns labelled 'incl. SLL encapsulation' provide an estimation for the data requirements
including SLL encapsulation.
