RE: VoIP QOS best practices

["Charles Youse" <cyouse () register com>]

But in order for RTP to resync the out-of-order packets it must introduce some delay, no?
And that delay causes issues.

Reordering per se doesn't affect VoIP at all since RTP has an inherent
resync mechanism.

Reordering is also unlikely, since each packet is sent 20ms or more apart;
I'm not aware of any network devices that reorder on that scale.
