Hi, all:

I'm using wireshark to capture VOIP streams, the Codec used in the VOIP session is G711, which uses bandwidth of 64kbps.

  When I follow the following steps to analyse the VOIP streams:

  Telephony->RTP->show all streams->Analyze,

I found that the IP BW (bandwidth) column shows that the bandwidth is about 81.6 kbps. I also used a traffic monitoring program to monitor the traffic, which shows the bandwidth used is about 64kbps (conformant to G711 bit rate ). So, I wonder whether wireshark is accurate in measuring the bandwidth? or even other metrics such as jitter,etc..

  Thank you!

The codec data inside the RTP is 64Kbit/s with RTP/UDP/IP/Ethernet headers the rate should be something like 96Kb/s, if memory serves.
/Anders
