●RTP （ real time transport protocol ） RFC1889RTP is designed to provide end-to-end network transport functions for applications transmitting real-time data, such as audio, video, or simulation data, over multicast or unicast network services.●RTCP （ RTP control protocol ） RFC1889RTCP is companion protocol of RTP. This is used for quality feedback of the voice packets.

Major Elements of Voice Quality

Packet loss< 1% ：　 Negligible impact3-5% ： Momentary pauses in conversations10% ：　 Considerable deterioration of quality> 20% ：　 Difficult to carry on any

conversation

Latency> 25ms ： Requires echo cancellation< 150ms ： Typically no discernable problem150-400ms ： Although the voice quality of user application is affect

ed, use is possible if you understand it.

> 400 ms ： Unsuitable for most applications.
