Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: monitoring a packet loss measure during a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, wherein the first endpoint and the second endpoint use a first CODEC to conduct the VoIP communication and the VoIP communication comprises voice and video content; determining whether a current frames per packet value used by the first CODEC is greater than or equal to a maximum frames per packet threshold associated with the first CODEC; when the monitored packet loss measure exceeds a maximum packet loss threshold and when the current frames per packet value used by the first CODEC is greater than or equal to the maximum frames per packet threshold associated with the first CODEC, negotiating use of a substitute CODEC having a substitute nominal data rate that is lower than an in-use nominal data rate of the first CODEC; and continuing the VoIP communication using the substitute CODEC.
