You are troubleshooting intermittent audio quality. You notice that RTCP packets are arriving with high variance. What does this indicate?
Trap 1: Latency
Latency is the total time, not the variance.
Trap 2: Codec Mismatch
A mismatch would result in no audio, not jitter.
Trap 3: Packet Loss
Packet loss is measured by gaps in sequence numbers.
- A
Latency
Why wrong: Latency is the total time, not the variance.
- B
Codec Mismatch
Why wrong: A mismatch would result in no audio, not jitter.
- C
Packet Loss
Why wrong: Packet loss is measured by gaps in sequence numbers.
- D
Jitter
High variance in arrival time is the definition of jitter.
