jitter buffer is adaptive and configurable for different network environments.

When packets are lost, a concealment algorithm minimizes the resulting

negative audio consequences.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Voice Activity Detection

The purpose of voice activity detection (VAD) is to conserve network

bandwidth by detecting periods of relative “silence” in the transmit data path

and replacing that silence efficiently with special packets that indicate silence

is occurring. For those compression algorithms without an inherent VAD

function, such as G.711, the phone is compatible with the comprehensive

codec-independent comfort noise transmission algorithm specified in RFC

3389. This algorithm is derived from G.711 Appendix II, which defines a

comfort noise (CN) payload format (or bit-stream) for G.711 use in

packet-based, multimedia communication systems. The phone generates CN

packets (also known as Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID) frames) and also

decodes CN packets, efficiently regenerating a facsimile of the background

noise at the remote end.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

DTMF Tone Generation

The phone generates dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones in response to

user dialing on the dial pad. These tones are transmitted in the real-time

transport protocol (RTP) streams of connected calls. The phone can encode the
