Serialization dela
y
This is the time it takes to transmit the voice packet one bit at a time over a
WAN link. The serialization delay depends on the voice packet size and the
link bandwidth, and is given by the following formula:
Serialization delay in ms = 8*(IP packet size in bytes)/(link bandwidth in
kbit/s)
Table 21 shows what the serialization delay for voice packets on a 64kbit/s
and 128kbit/s link. The serialization delay on higher speed links are
considered negligible.
