G729 uses 8kbps but with the IP overhead it actually uses 30kbps so for 256k upstream you should be able to handle 8 calls but this is in ideal conditions. If you were to use IAX and enable trunking then you would use 30kbps for the 1st call and 10kbps for each additional call. See

Wow! 22Kbps of overhead? Are you sure? That sounds like way too much overhead. I can't use IAX2 because the GXP-2000 are SIP phones :( Any other suggestion? Thanks, Daniel On Jun 14, 2006, at 4:37 AM, Gareth Blades wrote: G729 uses 8kbps but with the IP overhead it actually uses 30kbps so

Welcome to the wonderful world of VoIP, where people are eager to move from 8kbps G.729 to 6.3kbps G.723.1, and accept a substantial drop in voice quality, and then throw over 20kbps of RTP, IP and related overhead on top of them. Isn't IP wonderful? :-) Regards, Steve Daniel Salama wrote:

That may not be such a bad idea. I've read people trying to put Asterisk on a WRTG54 or something like that. Would that be good? I guess I could do SIP in the office and trunk via IAX2 and save on bandwidth plus internal calls would be local. I tried to upgrade them to 512K but because

I have a client with about 16 GXP-2000. They complain that the audio quality is terrible after 2 or 3 simultaneous conversations. They are behind DSL 1.5Mbps down and 256Kbps up. Because they are using G711.u codec, I know they upstream bandwidth is the limiting factor and they most likely
