IP Telephony Configuration Guide
With no silence suppression, both the transmit path and the receive path continuously transmit
voice packets. Enabling silence suppression on full-duplex links reduces the average bandwidth.
However, since transmit and receive paths use separate channels, the peak bandwidth per call per
channel does not change. Therefore, peak bandwidth requirements per channel (Rx or Tx) per call
on a full-duplex link is:
(Full Duplex links, With or Without Silence Suppression)
The bandwidth made available by silence suppression on full-duplex links with continuous
transmission rate – average bandwidth requirement, is available for lower priority data
applications that can tolerate increased delay and jitter.
LAN engineering examples
Example 1: LAN engineering - voice calls
Consider a site with four Business Communications Manager IP telephony ports. Assume a
preferred codec of G.729, which uses a voice payload of 20 ms. Silence compression is enabled.
The Ethernet LAN is half-duplex. Ethernet LAN may also be full duplex.
Given the above, what is the peak traffic in kbit/s that IP telephony will put on the LAN?
From Table 13 on page 101, Figure 40 shows the peak transmission bandwidth for G.729 with
silence suppression enabled on a half-duplex link is 34.4 kbit/s per call or 137.6 kbit/s for all four
calls.

Notes:
1) Gray background indicates payload sizes used by Business Communications Manager 2.5 for transmission. Other values
listed indicate payload sizes that Business Communications Manager can receive.
2) Ethernet bandwidth includes the 14 byte Ethernet frame overhead plus a 12 byte inter-frame gap.
3) G.711 does not support silence suppression. Therefore the average bandwidth is the same as the peak bandwidth.
4) Bandwidths stated per channel (Rx or Tx).
