Build a latency budget

Create a simple one-way voice latency budget across codec, packetization, network, and jitter-buffer components.

One-way voice latency budget Packetization Time spent collecting audio before sending a packet. Codec and processing Encoding, decoding, and endpoint processing delay. Network path Propagation, routing, queueing, and inspection delay. Jitter buffer and relays Intentional wait plus SBC or media relay hops. Should Dubai agents use a European cloud voice media region for callers in India? Add every delay component before judging the path The common shortcut is checking bandwidth and ignoring delay because the circuit is not saturated. 20 ms audio packets add roughly 20 ms before each packet can be sent. Shorter packets can reduce delay but increase…
