The causes of voice degradation include:

  • Packet delay or latency

    The following factors can cause packet delay or latency:

    • Buffer delays

    • Queuing delays in switches and routers

    • Bandwidth restrictions

  • Jitter or statistical average variance in end-to-end packet travel times

  • Packet loss

    The following factors can cause packet loss:
