Conquering Cisco, one exam at a time!

Briefly list the steps necessary to compute the total bandwidth for a VOIP call.

Posted by engineeringtop on January 22, 2008

  1. Determine the codec and the packetization period
  2. Determine link-specific information (cRTP, Layer 2 protocol, security protocol and tunneling?)
  3. Calculate packetization size (size of voice payload)
  4. Calculate the total frame size
  5. Calculate the packet rate (1/packetization period)
  6. Calculate the total bandwidth

Equation:

Total packet size    =    Total bandwidth

payload size                   nominal bandwidth
