Here some info I dug up a while ago...

****Voice Bandwidth Calculation Formulas

The following calculations are used:

Total packet size = (L2 header: MP or FRF.12 or Ethernet) + (IP/UDP/RTP
header) + (voice payload size)

PPS = (codec bit rate) / (voice payload size)

Bandwidth = total packet size * PPS

Sample Calculation
For example, the required bandwidth for a G.729 call (8 Kbps codec bit rate)
with cRTP, MP and the default 20 bytes of voice payload is:

Total packet size (bytes) = (MP header of 6 bytes) + ( compressed IP/UDP/RTP
header of 2 bytes) + (voice payload of 20 bytes) = 28 bytes

Total packet size (bits) = (28 bytes) * 8 bits per byte = 224 bits

PPS = (8 Kbps codec bit rate) / (160 bits) = 50 pps

Note: 160 bits = 20 bytes (default voice payload) * 8 bits per byte

Bandwidth per call = voice packet size (224 bits) * 50 pps = 11.2 Kbps

Great tool for checking your work!

Subject: Qos for voice and codec types

Hello,

I know that while applying QoS for different codec we have to consider
the BW requirement for the codec plus any overhead depending on how
the voice call is planned like Voip or Vofr. Can someone refer to some
good documentation which has different codec types and underlying
overhead.
