Research and Markets: Analysis of the Bandwidth Usage Of Skype VoIP Conversations across Wide Area Networks of Varying Bandwidth

Business Wire, Nov 10, 2004

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c9052) has announced the addition of Skype 1.0 - The Impact of Network Bandwidth on Codec Bandwidth Selection to their offering.

Understanding the bandwidth requirements of a given application is a key requirement. Skype documentation provides only general guidance as to expected bandwidth usage. The documentation states that the Skype software based on, among other elements, the bandwidth available between the clients, determines the bandwidth dynamically.

Network architects need to be able to plan for the bandwidth requirements for potentially high-volume applications like Skype. This report benchmarks the bandwidth utilization between a single pair of Skype clients as the (simulated) WAN between them varies from narrowband (28.8) to broadband (10Mbps). This will provide some fundamental insights into expected load.

Key Observation Topics:

--Codec Selection Sensitivity to Network Bandwidth

--Information on Codec Use

--Bandwidth/Codec Configuration

--Silence Suppression

--Stealth Processing
