VoIP Voice Frame Size

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

This has been totaly pissing me off trying to find detailed info on Voice Frame Size in VoIP applications.

Audio is encoded in increments called frames, with the typical frame size being 10ms. Hence the packet size, or number of frames per packet, is a measure of how much audio is sent in each IP packet. Experience has shown that a 20-ms packet is a good compromise between audio quality and bandwidth consumption. Reducing to 10ms doubles the number of packets put onto the network, but only 10ms of audio can be lost when a packet fails to reach its destination or arrives out of order. Going beyond 20ms reduces the number of packets put onto the network, but there is greater potential for poor voice quality when there is high network loss.

Seriously this is cool, I seen this on Wired. High school student Thiago Olson has built a working fusion reactor. In November 2006, a few tiny bubbles in his neutron dosimeter told him that he’d achieved success: Fusing hydrogen nuclei into helium.

Quiet Microsoft Patch Day

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

It’s been a very quiet Microsoft patch day today. Except for one patch and that’s Service Pack 2 for Windows 2003, and Windows XP x64. Otherwise the only patches that they put out are the usually malicious removable tool update and new spam filters for Microsoft Outlook 2003 and above.
