Hi,
I am experimenting VOIP for the first time. Although I have some IT
experience, this is a different field, and I get sometimes confused when I
read the web sites that illustrate it.
To start, I have tried Skype, and it works rather well.
Then I tried babble.net with X-lite, and it rather works well too.
I had tried X-lite with SIPphone from PC to PC (both in europe with
broadband), and it didn't work.
Does the quality of the phone call (in the user sense of the expression)
depend, among other things, from the codec used?
I know that with Skype there is one proprietary codec, and we don't know.
But with SIP, X-lite, I see: g711u and g711a (disabled), and gsm, iLBC and
Speex (enabled).
Which enabled codec is actually used when I talk?
Which one is the best?
Which one is the most used? (I assume that both phones must use the same
one when talking to each other)
so far, I found this page: http://www.uninett.no/voip/codec.html
but it doesn't help a lot
