Hey Everyone, I am playing around with my * box, and I have a few different phones hanging off it it right now.
I have a Cisco 7960 capable of g729, ulaw and alaw, I have a Cisco ATA186 with a Panasonic cordless phone attached to it, I have a Digum IAXy with a dumb analog phone attached to it, and I have a Linksys PAP2-NA with an AT&T 959 analog phone attached to it. I also have several IAX2 connections, one to NuFone and one to another provider. My question revolves around which codec to use. I purchased 10 licenses of the g729 from Digum thinking it was the "best" since it costs money :-) I have read the wiki on the codecs, but I did not find any real "practical" use suggestions, just info on the codecs and the bandwidth they used. In several cases I am not worried about the bandwidth consumption as I control the connectivity (several phone are behind T1's or high speed DSL), one of the IAX connections is across my OC48, and several phones are sitting on my desktop on the lan connected to the * server. So my question is this - if I am running g729, am I giving up quality for the sake of bandwidth conservation..? Should I use the codec that matches the greatest amount of bandwidth that I have available, or go with the codec that uses the least amount of bandwidth..?
