Command Reference
Actual network bandwidth is related to packet assembly interval and network
structure. The longer the packet assembly interval is, the closer the network
bandwidth is to the media stream bandwidth. More headers consume more
bandwidth. Longer packet assembly interval results in longer fixed coding latency.
The following tables show the relevant packet assembly parameters without IPHC
compression, including packet assembly interval, bytes coded in a time unit, and
network bandwidth, etc. Thus, you can choose a suitable codec algorithm according
to idle and busy status of the line and network situations more conveniently.
