Why 1280???

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I've compiled the gatekeeper from source in the hope of adding some kind of dynamic bandwidth control.

My question is, why 1280??? Is this a random number that sounded good??? Or is there some reason. Is there a unit to 1280?

Also, am I correct to assume that if I do change this value, it won't really have an impact on the actual bandwidth PHYSICALLY allocated or used on the network???

It appears (and I could be wrong), that this "allocation" of 1280 is more for THEORETICAL control over the number of calls/bandwidth used. That is, you state the Total Bandwidth
in the config file, every time you make a call it takes 1280 off the total, and when it runs out the gatekeeper denies a new call. So if I change this value, it will have an affect on
the gatekeepers decision on whether to allow a new call, and it will change how much bandwidth is left, but it won't actually change the PHYSICAL bandwidth used.
In other words, it's all relative... Am I right???

The whole reason I'm asking is because I want to set the values to something relevant. i.e. If codec is G.711, set the bandwidth to 87.2 Kbps, etc. So should I set the BW to 87200 for this case?
Or convert it to bytes? Do I need to maintain a unit? eg Kbps.......I don't know.

Any help???

Thanks heaps,

Bec
