Bandwidth Required Per Call

[denis]

How much bandwidth is required for a single call over a WAN?

[v2win]

What type of WAN link?

ATM Frame Relay Serial?

G711 or G729?

[Chakara]

  Depends on if you have compression or not.  G.711 is without compression and G.729 is with compression.  The below is stolen from Cisco (don't hate me!)

  I think only the top 2 rows apply in Mitel land...

There is a table in the eng guidelines for this but in short, depending on link type and packet rate between 80-120Kbps for G711 (uncompressed) and 20-80Kbps G729 (compressed) on the wire.

I have a spreadsheet I use for Nortel VOIP deployments that I can get you or if Chakara can allow a excel file upload

V2win,
Also give me a copy.  I'll post it at www.aavoicepro.com/nortel
