Polycom's Siren7 (G.722.1) is already 'free' under basically the same terms and is being implemented in endpoints currently. Siren14 (G.722.1 Annex C) is in essentially the same situation, and provides even higher audio bandwidth. The selling points for SILK are primarily the network bandwidth optimization features, but as Steve Underwood already posted, that requires the implementation to have access to network monitoring information so that it can proactively make bandwidth changes (as opposed to just waiting until the packet loss reaches unacceptable levels and audio quality is already suffering). It will be interesting to see where this goes. -- Kevin P.
