Important Notes: There is no jitter buffer setting on a multicast server codec because it
only sends and never receives audio packets.
How to get the Best Jitter Buffer Results
When configuring automatic jitter buffer settings, establish the IP connection for a while before
'going live', to allow the codec to evaluate prevailing network conditions. The initial jitter buffer setting
when a codec connects is 500ms and it is kept at this level for the first minute of connection (as
long as observed delay values are lower than this point).
After the initial connection period the jitter buffer is adjusted to suit prevailing network conditions and
is usually reduced. Establish a connection for at least 5 minutes prior to broadcasting, so that the
codec has been provided with enough jitter history to ensure a reliable connection.
There are five jitter buffer states. Jitter buffer and connection status statistics can be viewed via

connection statistics. The first four stages are observed in "auto" jitter buffer mode.
1. Stabilization period (a1): A few seconds during which a stable connection is established.
