Network Working Group S. Andersen Request for Comments: 3951 Aalborg University Category: Experimental A. Duric Telio H. Astrom R. Hagen W. Kleijn J. Linden Global IP Sound December 2004 Internet Low Bit Rate Codec (iLBC) Status of this Memo This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2004). Abstract This document specifies a speech codec suitable for robust voice communication over IP. The codec is developed by Global IP Sound (GIPS). It is designed for narrow band speech and results in a payload bit rate of 13.33 kbit/s for 30 ms frames and 15.20 kbit/s for 20 ms frames. The codec enables graceful speech quality degradation in the case of lost frames, which occurs in connection with lost or delayed IP packets. Andersen, et al.
