This means that the caller end of a new IP communication does not require asking for router or firewall adaptation before streaming.

  • Page 71 A decisive factor in real time audio streaming is the ‘jitter’, or delay variation. To deal with the jitter in the connection, Prodys IP Family codec provides a tool which allows the user to modify the size of the reception buffer, and so, to compensate the jitter.

This information will be used to adjust the streaming parameters in order to achieve the best quality in the audio streaming connection.
