Patent ID: 7277943

Claim:
A device comprising: a network interface for coupling to a network; a memory; and a processor coupled with the network interface, wherein the processor is adapted to: consider a first connection through a network with a first endpoint of the network; identify a first region in the network of the first network endpoint; retrieve a first jitter record for the first network region; and allocate a first portion of a memory for jitter buffer storage for the first connection, the first portion having a size in accordance with first jitter data in the first jitter record wherein the processor is further adapted to: consider a second connection through the network with a second endpoint of the network; identify a second region in the network of the second network endpoint; retrieve a second jitter record for the second network region; and allocate a second portion of the memory for jitter buffer storage for the second connection, the second portion having a size in accordance with second jitter data in the second jitter record.
