Thanks Bob. Yep. Reading the chart myself... Its 20bytes. 8)

Hunt,

You can determine the default codec bandwidth and payload size by doing
a show dial-peer voice command (after configuring either a voip or vofr
dial-peer). By default, the g729r8 codec sends at 8000 bps. The
default payload is 20 bytes for voip and 30 bytes for vofr. The best
discussion of this I have seen in print is in the Cisco Press book Cisco
Voice over Frame Relay, ATM and IP

by Steve McQuerry, et.al.

HTH,
