Figure 5 Silence compression
To provide a more natural sound, comfort noise is added at the destination gateway
during the silent periods to calls where silence compression is active. Silence
compression can cause a sensed degradation in audio quality. Silence compression
can be disabled. With silence compression disabled, the bandwidth use of the LAN/
WAN approximately multiplies by two.
If an IP gateway acts as a tandem switch in a network where circuit-switched trunk
facilities have a large amount of low audio level, enabling silence compression
degrades the quality of service, causing broken speech. Under tandem switching
conditions, with a large amount of low audio level, disable the silence compression
using the IP telephony interface.
Fax calls use a G.711 codec which does not support silence compression. Fax calls
require 64 kbit/s bandwidth. For more information about fax calls, see the Fax calls
section on page 41.
