The following screenshot shows network-traffic (in Bytes/s) for the following connections:
 
 
 
* '''Black''': traffic from and to Trixbox #1
 
* '''Red''': traffic between the 2 Windows machines running X-lite
 
* '''Green''': traffic between laptop #1 and its Asterisk
 
* '''Blue''': traffic between the two Asterisk PBX's
 
* '''Pink''': traffic between Windows machine #1 and its Asterisk
 
 
 
[[Image:ethereal_graph_voice-only.png|Ethereal graph showing voice-only traffic]]
 
 
 
From the graph shown above there can be concluded that indeed the two X-Lite machines are only connected to their own Trixbox, i.e. there is no ''direct'' traffic between the two X-Lite machines.

In the screenshot below, the following events were measured:
 
* @4 sec: Video was turned on
 
* @14 sec: Video was set to black (connection lost with DVdriver)
 
* @20 sec: Video showed moving pictures again.

Legenda:
 
* '''Black''': traffic from and to Trixbox #1
 
* '''Red''': traffic between the 2 Windows machines running X-lite
 
* '''Green''': traffic between laptop #1 and its Asterisk
 
* '''Blue''': traffic between the two Asterisk PBX's
 
* '''Pink''': traffic between Windows machine #1 and its Asterisk
 
 
 
The following graph shows the traffic is almost constant.
 
Till 35sec the conversation included audio and video. The rest is audio-only.

This measurement shows there is no traffic between both SIP-phones, only via (both) Asterisk PBX.
 
 
 
= Differences between voice and video =
 
For this test ([http://thales.td-er.nl/EtherealDumps/Traffic%20between%202%20SIP%20phones%20with%201%20PBX%20and%201%20camera.rar captured Ethereal data]), we connected 2 SIP phones to the same Asterisk PBX.
 
We measured the bandwitdh used between the following 3 points:
 
 
 
# SIP-phone #1 with camera
 
# SIP-phone #2 without camera
 
# Asterisk PBX
 
 
 
[[image:ethereal_graph_difference_voice and video.png|Ethereal graph showing the differences in traffic between audio and video (resp. g711u and H263-1998 codec). Black: from SIP-phone #1 to PBX. Blue: from SIP-phone #2 to PBX
 
Pink: all traffic between SIP-phone #1 and the PBX ]]
 
 
 
'''Legenda:'''
 
* '''Black''' shows audio & video from ''SIP-phone #1'' to the PBX (video starting at the 10<sup>th</sup> second)
 
* '''Blue''' shows audio-only from ''SIP-phone #2'' to the PBX
 
* '''Pink''' shows all traffic between ''SIP-phone #1'' and the PBX (both directions)
 
 
 
The debug-screen [[image:X-lite debug-info.png|right|315px|X-lite debug-screen]] of X-lite (Ctrl + F9) told us the SIP-phone assumed a total available bandwith of 256/256 kbps.
 
This was filled with 64 kbps for speech (protocol g711u) and 131 kbps for video (protocol H263-1998)
 
 
 
When looking at the speech traffic:
 
* 50 packets/sec (measured with Ethereal)
 
* 214 Bytes/packet (measured with Ethereal)
 
* +/- 10,7 kByte/s
 
* 160 bytes audio-data per packet (64 kbps = 8000 Bytes/sec, 50 packets/sec)
 
* UDP-packet-header: 28 Bytes.
 
 
 
Measured IAX-overhead: (the g711u codec uses a CBR of 64kbps) 214 - 28 - 160 = 26 Bytes/packet.
 
Thus 1300 Bytes/sec IAX overhead. (10k4 bps)
