Voice
Codec
Codec is the component of any voice system that translates between analog speech and the bits used to transmit them. Every codec transmits a burst of data in a packet that can be reconstructed into voice.
Five different standards of voice codec’s are given which can be selected depending on the variations required. Packet size and Inter-arrival time value will vary depending on the codec value chosen.
Packet Size
Distribution: The options available for distribution are,
- Constant
- Exponential
Packet Size (Bytes): Sets the size of the packets being generated by the chosen distribution. By default 160 bytes is entered.
Inter Arrival Time
This indicates the time gap between packets.
Distribution: The options available for distribution are,
- Constant
- Exponential
Inter Arrival Time: Enter the average inter-arrival time between packets. A lower inter-arrival time would lead to a higher generation rate and vice versa. By default 20000 Micro Sec is entered.
Service Type
- CBR - CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate. Packets of constant size are generated at constant inter arrival times.
- VBR - VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate. The two types of Suppression Model that can be selected are,
- Deterministic
- Markov Chain
