Description

Number of RTP voice packets transmitted since voice stream was opened.

Note This number is not necessarily identical to the number of RTP voice packets transmitted since the call began because the call might have been placed on hold.

Estimated average RTP packet jitter (dynamic delay that a packet encounters when going through the network) observed since the receiving voice stream was opened.

Maximum jitter observed since the receiving voice stream was opened.

Number of RTP packets in the receiving voice stream that have been discarded (bad packets, too late, and so on).

Note The phone will discard payload type 19 comfort noise packets that are generated by Cisco Gateways, which will increment this counter.

Missing RTP packets (lost in transit).
