A method of controlling audio communication on a network
Abstract
A method of controlling provision of audio communication on a network comprising at least two endpoints (1, 3), at least one acting as a source and at least one acting as a destination, comprises setting a desired maximum and minimum packet size at the source; setting a desired maximum and minimum packet size at the destination; determining a minimum send packet size as the greater of the desired minimum set by the source and the desired minimum set by the destination; setting a jitter buffer at the destination to an appropriate size for the determined minimum send packet size; and transmitting audio packets of a size greater than or equal to the determined minimum send packet size.
