SimpleVoipSender

simple module

Implements a simple VoIP source. It is a constant bitrate source, with talkspurt support added. Packets do not contain actual voice data. Connection setup/teardown is not modelled. The peer must be a SimpleVoipReceiver.

The source alternates between two states: talk and silence. The length the module spends in each state are controlled by the talkspurtDuration and silenceDuration parameters. In talk state, the module acts as a CBR source, and sends packets of size talkPacketSize every packetizationInterval seconds to the destination over UDP. Silence is implicit: in silence state, no packets are sent, and there is no explicit signalling of silence either.

Packets are of type SimpleVoipPacket. In addition to packet ID and timestamp, packets also contain a talkspurt ID and the total number of packets in the talkspurt to facilitate statistics at the receiver side. (It allows the receiver to detect loss of packets at the end of a talkspurt; a full talkspurt can still be lost unnoticed.)

The destination address/port, the local port, start and stop times can be set via parameters.
