sip keer alive bandwith usage
 

Hello,

I have tried to determine by search with out success how many megabytes of data, bidirectional total, a sip phone connected (registered) to voxalot uses when not engaged in a call. I realise the consumption when connected depends on codec etc

I am considering an alternative connection that charges by the megabyte of data.

As far as i can tell from monitoring my network there are two 60 byte packets (one each way) every 30 seconds. this calcs out to 14.4 Kb an hour. Is this correct?

Can any one help to confirm what I should expect?

regards H.

You said that yourself it depends on codecs. What codec you were using when you did your test?

running g 729
 

thanks for the reply, I have it set on g729 which is 8k or I believe about 32k each way when connected handling voice.

I am trying to determine how many megs a month it will use just on the connection overhead. Then I can add the voice usage.
