Abstract
This document specifies a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload
format to be used for the ITU Telecommunication Standardization
Sector (ITU-T) G.711.1 audio codec. Two media type registrations are
also included.

1. Introduction
The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)
Recommendation G.711.1 [ITU-G.711.1] is an embedded wideband
extension of the Recommendation G.711 [ITU-G.711] audio codec. This
document specifies a payload format for packetization of G.711.1
encoded audio signals into the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT","RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. Background
G.711.1 is a G.711 embedded wideband speech and audio coding
algorithm operating at 64, 80, and 96 kbps. At 64 kbps, G.711.1 is
fully interoperable with G.711. Hence, an efficient deployment in
existing G.711-based Voice over IP (VoIP) infrastructures is
foreseen.
The codec operates on 5-ms frames, and the default sampling rate is
16 kHz. Input and output at 8 kHz are also supported for narrowband
modes.

RFC 5391 RTP Payload Format for G.711.1 November 2008
The encoder produces an embedded bitstream structured in three layers
corresponding to three available bit rates: 64, 80, and 96 kbps. The
bitstream can be truncated at the decoder side or by any component of
the communication system to adjust, "on the fly", the bit rate to the
desired value.
The following table gives more details on these layers.
