Abstract:
1. A method for minimizing packet data mixer delay, comprising: receiving at a packet data mixer at least a first data packet sent from a first communication endpoint and a second data packet sent from a second communication endpoint; determining a relative arrival time of the at least first and second data packets at the packet data mixer; generating in the packet data mixer a signal; sending the signal to the first communication endpoint, wherein the signal instructs the first communication endpoint to adjust a packetization time by a first amount, and wherein the first time amount is determined from the relative arrival times of the first and second data packets; and in response to the signal, adjusting in the first communication endpoint the packetization time by the first amount, wherein as a result of adjusting in the first communication endpoint the packetization time the relative arrival time of a third data packet sent from the first communication endpoint and a fourth data packet sent from the second communication endpoint at the packet data mixer is changed as compared to the arrival time of the first and second data packets.
