[Freeswitch-dev] MTU setting and application buffer size

[Juraj Fabo]

Hi,

I read through the previous answers several times again and did some progress.
I found out that the valid codec_ms values are <10ms,60ms> and using lower
values will not work.

In each of the the test below the codec_ms was set to 1 with hope
of fastest data delivery, however this resulted to 20ms codec_ms
which is default.

Updated test result with the codec_ms=10 is following:
mtu:16 txqueue_size=1  rxqueue_size=10   one-direction delay=20ms
round-trip delay=50ms
mtu:80 txqueue_size=1  rxqueue_size=10   one-direction delay=56ms
round-trip delay=110ms

However, this is still not 10ms with the default MTU:80 and codec_ms:10 :(

Anyway, is it a good idea to use so assymetric tx/rx queue sizes?

with best regards
