AIP 6350 / Office 35IP 6.1.1 Delay and Jitter High delay and jitter values have a considerably detrimental effect on the quality of speech. The delay values of the voice packets should be kept as small as possible. The fol- lowing methods are used to reduce delay and compensate jitter: •...
AIP 6350 / Office 35IP 6.1.2 Bandwidth Management The available bandwidth can be limited, especially on WAN links. The bandwidth control of AIP 6350 prevents call connections from being set up if there is too little bandwidth available (see "Bandwidth Control", page 43). The following methods help to reduce the bandwidth requirement: •...
AIP 6350 / Office 35IP Prioritising If the IP network is to guarantee the bandwidth required for call connections, voice packets have to be given priority compared with other data packets. The system supports the following prioritisation methods: • Expanded IP frames as per IEEE 802.1p/Q (CoS, Layer 2): AIP and IP terminals use the prioritisation field in the expanded frame header to specify the priority.
AIP 6350 / Office 35IP Bandwidth Control The maximum number of call connections possible simultaneously can be limited using AIMS to ensure that the maximum number of call connections set up does not exceed the available bandwidth. The amount of bandwidth required by a call connection depends on the voice compression method.
AIP 6350 / Office 35IP 6.3.1 Bandwidth Control Based on the Reference Model The following describes the procedure for defining codecs based on the example of the reference model and for setting up the bandwidth areas. An available bandwidth of 128 kbit/s is assumed as the measurement basis for the WAN link. haz1355aaxxa0 PSTN AIP 6350...
