Hello guys,

Above are the characteristic of voice and data
What i don't understand from the voice is:
  • Smooth
  • Benign
  • UDP priority


and from the data is:
  • Smooth/Brusty
  • Benign/Greedy
  • TCP Retransmits
Can somebody explain these characteristics to me?

Thanks in advanced

    For Voice:
    • Smooth: if not using VAD (voice activity detection/silence suppression) voice traffic sends at a constant rate for the duration of the call, for each call. For G.711 this is 80Kb/s and for G.729 is 24Kb/s (excluding L2 overhead)
    • Benign: depending on the bandwidth of the link, a single voice call does not eat into this much. A typical 100Mb/s LAN gets reduced by 87Kb/s, a 768Kb/s frame relay WAN gets reduced by 27Kb/s.
    • UDP: if the packet is lost, no transmit required.
    For Data:
    • Smooth/Brusty: unpredictable in nature depending on what you are doing. Just look at how much a bittorrent download bandwidth varies over the life of the download, 34Kb/s one minute, 792Kb/s the next minute.
    • Benign/Greedy: again, unpredictable in nature depending on what you are doing. Just look at how much a bittorrent download bandwidth varies over the life of the download, 34Kb/s one minute, 792Kb/s the next minute. Compare this to simple web browsing.
    • TCP Retransmits: if the packet is lost, lets send it again.
    Hope this helps.
