Abstract:
1. In a local area network including a plurality of communications devices and a plurality of intermediate communications devices, a method for conducting a communications session using incorrectly timestamped packets of audio information comprised of one of the plurality of communications devices performing the steps of: detecting a timestamp value associated with a current received packet of audio information: using the timestamp value associated with the current received packet of audio information to compute a timestamp value for a next packet of audio information and storing the timestamp value: detecting and storing a timestamp value associated with the next received packet of audio information: comparing the stored, computed timestamp value and the stored timestamp value associated with the next received packet of audio information to be different: modifying the stored timestamp value associated with the next received packet of audio information to be the same as the stored, calculated timestamp value computed from the current received packet of audio information: and processing the next received packet of audio information.
