IP Telephony Configuration Guide
Each site supports four VoIP ports. Assume the codex is G.729 Annex B, 20 ms payload.
Assuming full-duplex links, peak bandwidths per call are between 24.8 kbit/s and 27.6 kbit/s peak
transmission or approximately 28 kbit/s. This is shown in the following figure, taken from the
table under “Bandwidth requirements on full duplex links” on page 125.
Figure 45 Network loading bandwidth
Route R1-R2 needs to support four VoIP Calls. R4-R5 needs to support eight VoIP calls. The
incremental peak bandwidth for VoIP traffic is therefore:
R1-R2 peak VoIP Load = 4(28 kbit/s) = 112kbit/s
R4-R5 peak VoIP Load = 8(28kbit/s) = 224kbit/s
With Business Communications Manager VoIP gateway bandwidth requirements and
Traceroute measurements, the R4-R5 link is expected to support the Santa Clara/Richardson,
Santa Clara/Tokyo and the Ottawa/Tokyo traffic flows. The other IP telephony traffic flows do not
route over R4-R5. A peak of eight calls can be made over R4-R5 for the four IP telephony ports
per site. R4-R5 needs to support the incremental bandwidth of 8 x 12 = 96 kbit/s.
To complete this exercise, the traffic flow from every site pair needs to be summed to calculate the
load on each route and loaded to the link.
