IPTraf is a neat tool but, information it gives should be taken with a grain 
of salt.  If you're looking at "general" statistics, it is going to show you 
the combined IN+OUT as IPTraf sees it.  This IN+OUT is never accurate from 
what I've seen in my tests.  I don't know if it isn't counting encapsulation 
overhead or what its problem is but it is flat out wrong in almost every 
instance.

Now, for looking at flows through/to a box, it is great.  Just don't bank on 
the bandwidth stats being accurate.

I've seen the errors I'm talking about on eth, gige, and ATM OC3 interfaces 
so, it's not specific to any one interface type.

You need to decide if you're going to measure both sides of the call or not. 
 ITU standard is 64Kbits/s.  That is correct.  It is a standard DS0.  But, 
guess what.  That DS0 goes both directions so, "measured bandwidth per call" 
is 128Kbits/s using your logic.

Only "consumer" grade DSL/Cable bandwidth is asymmetric. These "wanna-be" 
connections and the accompanying garbage that the sales/marketing monkeys 
spew (that the general public laps up as accurate) have done nothing but 
cause confusion to people who don't work the network side of the industry.

[rent on]
(Besides that, it makes their peering ratio so lopsided that there is no way 
they're going to get any decent no-settlement bilateral peering and as such, 
the price of those connections is going to remain artificially high since 
the providers have to PURCHASE transit instead of simply peering.) [rant off]

When I order an OC3, it's 155Mb/s in BOTH DIRECTIONS.  The industry doesn't 
say "That's 310Mb/s of bandwidth" because the measure of circuit bandwidth 
is by maximum one-way FLOW.  You can (on paper) flow 155Mb/s in one 
direction on an OC3 (including encapsulation overhead).

So, if you want to use accepted telco + IP metrics for measuring the flow 
(and thus the bandwidth), you look at the GREATER OF THE IN/OUT flow and 
that is how much bandwidth is required.

ULAW = 83Kbits/s including encapsulation overhead.

Rich,

In real world, using real tool, getting real number.  You don't expect to
either talk only mode or listen only mode.  Per call must have Rx & Tx for
inbound & outbound.

The numbers look more like 83Kbits/sec (thanks Andrew Gillham) in the wiki
page or the cisco bandwidth consumsion (thanks Alex Volkow).  I'm using
IPTraf to monitor the bandwidth.  When there is no call, it's 1.8 Kbits/sec.
When making a call, it's 166.8 Kbits/sec

ULAW codec:

Total rates:166.8 kbits/sec
 103.6 packets/sec

Incoming rates:   83.6 kbits/sec
  52.2 packets/sec

Outgoing rates:83.2 kbits/sec
   51.4 packets/sec

Engineering rate is per channel but to calculate the bandwidth consumsion,
it must be in realtime full-duplex.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Codecs [G.729]

2004-03-10 Thread Low, Adam
I posted the results of my real world analysis of codec bandwidth usage on this list a 
couple of weeks back. Here's the table I put together and an example of calculating 
bandwidth over ADSL.

G.711 over Ethernet = 95 Kbps per channel
G.711 over IP/PPP   = 86 Kbps per channel
G.711 over ADSL/ATM = 108 Kbps per channel

G.729 over Ethernet = 39 Kbps per channel
G.729 over IP/PPP   = 30 Kbps per channel
G.729 over ADSL/ATM = 45 Kbps per channel


200 bytes G.711 packet + 8 bytes AAL5 overhead = 208 bytes
208 bytes fit in 5 cells of 48 bytes payload
5 cells are 265 bytes. VoIP over ATM AAL5MUX thus has an overhead of 21.51%
VoIP G.711 conversation sends 50 packets per second.  This uses 250 cells per second.
This causes approximately 10 OAM5 cells to be sent over the duration.

The total bitrate is thus (250 + 10) * 53 bytes * 8 bits = 110240 bits/second = 
107.66Kbit/s

Are some of these numbers for the full-duplex traffic?
Ok, my question doesn't even seem that clear to me. :-)

What I mean, is that the G.711 numbers for example look like both 
directions *combined* so the actual rate would be more like 83Kbit/s. 
(much like listed on the wiki page)

So for G.711 a/ulaw, gsm, iLBC etc I was wondering if that is a single 
direction, or the combination of both directions?

Single call using which protocol?
I would like to know more about your methodology...

> Have anyone test it with G.729?  Please let me know.

John Todd has tested IAX2 in 'trunking' mode with a variety of codecs ,
including G.729:

Note that your results show Speex as better than iLBC for a single call,
which differs from John Todd's...

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Codecs [G.729]

2004-03-08 Thread



Hello all,
 
I'm looking for advice for codec that works best 
for asterisk.  Anyone has real testing with all codecs, specially with 
G.729.  I have tested with single call on few codecs that come with 
asterisk by using IPTraf and the rate as of below:
 
ulaw 64 Kbps, sample-based Also known as 
alaw/ulaw 166kbits/secalaw 64 Kbps, sample-based Also known as 
alaw/ulaw 167kbits/secgsm 13 Kbps (full rate), 20ms frame 
size   66kbits/secspeex 2.15 to 44.2 
Kbps n/aiLBC 15Kbps,20ms frame size: 13.3 
Kbps, 30ms frame size 57.6kbits/secG.729 8 Kbps, 10ms frame 
sizelicense
 
Have anyone test it with G.729?  Please let me 
know.
 
Thanks.
