Rtp Multiplexing (Throughpacket) - AudioCodes Mediant 2000 User Manual

12.3.4 RTP Multiplexing (ThroughPacket)

The device supports a proprietary method to aggregate RTP streams from several
channels. This reduces the bandwidth overhead caused by the attached Ethernet, IP, UDP,
and RTP headers and reduces the packet/data transmission rate. This option reduces the
load on network routers and can typically save 50% (e.g., for G.723) on IP bandwidth. RTP
Multiplexing (ThroughPacket™) is accomplished by aggregating payloads from several
channels that are sent to the same destination IP address into a single IP packet.
RTP multiplexing can be applied to the entire device (see ''Configuring RTP/RTCP
Settings'' on page 143) or to specific IP destinations using the IP Profile feature (see
''Configuring IP Profiles'' on page 204).
When RTP Multiplexing is used, call statistics are unavailable (since there is no RTCP
flow).
Notes:
SIP User's Manual
