Gut feeling would In our network we set UAs to use 60ms (using G729). Actual data measurements indicate a call consumes about 13Kbps. If we use 20ms then it consumes about 25Kbps. These are of course peer-peer calls since Asterisk itself does not support transmitting at 60ms. We prefer 60ms due to the fact that some of our customers are using dial-up for their VoIP, and bigger delays are preferable to dopped packets.
