Of course - ISDN is bi-directional. I guess saying that ULAW takes 130K+ bandwidth depending on the framing type (local lan, w/1 hop, vlan, etc) is not very clear. Thats total bandwidth. With lots of us at home and small business using asynchronous connections - we need to keep that in consideration.

Thanks for helping clear that up.

If you then convert to IP there's at least a 20% overhead, can be more
depending on the situation.
Might take 100Kb/s
Thats what I thought as well, so I was wondering why ISDN is 64K, but VOIP RTP/ulaw has been documented to be 64K per direction + packet overhead (132K+)

ISDN is 64K per direction too, on a synchronous link i.e. 64K in both
directions.

I guess if you packetise etc then you've got to worry about both
directions and the bandwidth to supoort it ...
