PDVT (Jitter) Buffer

IPmux-1 is equipped with a Packet DVT (Delay Variation Tolerance) buffer. The PDVT buffer or jitter buffer is filled by the incoming IP packets and emptied out to fill the E1/T1 stream. The buffer begins to empty out only after it is half full in order to compensate for packet starvation from the Ethernet side. The time it takes for half of the buffer to empty out is the maximum DVT time. Delay Variation Tolerance is configurable. The PDVT (jitter) buffer is designed to compensate for packet delay variation caused by the network + intrinsic PDV.

It supports a delay variation of up to 300 ms for E1 or T1.

To configure jitter buffer depth:

Estimated or Measured PDV introduced by the network + intrinsic PDV (if it exists) introduced by the module as a result of configuring the

TDM bytes / frame > 48 (see explanation of calculating intrinsic PDV, below).

Intrinsic PDV

If TDM bytes/frame is greater than 48, there is an intrinsic delay variation (intrinsic PDV). The intrinsic PDV introduced by the module is a function of n>1 in TDM bytes/frame configuration as follows:

I.PDV (ms) = [(n-1) x 1000) / (frames per second n]

where n =

Configured TDM bytes/frame

(n = 1 to 8).

48

 

 

Note For a bundle that contains a few timeslots (i.e. 1–3) the minimal jitter buffer should be 6 ms.

PDVT Buffer Effect on Delay

The PDVT buffer is on the TDM path; it adds to the total end-to-end delay (see delay calculation, below).

Ethernet Throughput

Configuring the TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame) parameter can reduce Ethernet throughput (bandwidth or traffic travelling through the Ethernet). This parameter controls the number of TDM bytes encapsulated in one frame. The TDM bytes/frame parameter can be configured to n x 48 bytes where n is an
