PDVT (Jitter) Buffer
IPmux-1 is equipped with a Packet DVT (Delay Variation Tolerance) buffer. The
PDVT buffer or jitter buffer is filled by the incoming IP packets and emptied out to
fill the E1/T1 stream. The buffer begins to empty out only after it is half full in order
fill the E1/T1 stream. The buffer begins to empty out only after it is half full in order
to compensate for packet starvation from the Ethernet side. The time it takes for
half of the buffer to empty out is the maximum DVT time. Delay Variation

Tolerance is configurable. The PDVT (jitter) buffer is designed to compensate for

It supports a delay variation of up to 300 ms for E1 or T1.

Intrinsic PDV
If TDM bytes/frame is greater than 48, there is an intrinsic delay variation (intrinsic
PDV). The intrinsic PDV introduced by the module is a function of n>1 in
TDM bytes/frame configuration as follows:
I.PDV (ms) = [(n-1) x 1000) / (frames per second × n]
TDM bytes/frame configuration as follows:
I.PDV (ms) = [(n-1) x 1000) / (frames per second × n]

(n = 1 to 8).
For a bundle that contains a few timeslots (i.e. 1–3) the minimal jitter buffer should
be 6 ms.
PDVT Buffer Effect on Delay
The PDVT buffer is on the TDM path; it adds to the total end-to-end delay (see
delay calculation, below).
Ethernet Throughput
Configuring the TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame) parameter can reduce
Ethernet throughput (bandwidth or traffic travelling through the Ethernet). This

parameter controls the number of TDM bytes encapsulated in one frame. The
TDM bytes/frame parameter can be configured to n x 48 bytes where n is an
