Description When MP applies, packets may be received out of order. The sort window is thus used
to re-order packets. The size of the sort window is a trade-off between re-ordering
effect and delay: a large sort window brings good re-ordering effect but increased
delay. For voice packets, transmission delay should be minimized.
