Name	Type	Description
SimpleVoIPReceiver	simple module	Receives a VoIP stream generated by a SimpleVoIPSender, and records statistics. The most important statistic is MOS (Mean Opinion Score, a value between 1 and 5, representing a human user's view of the voice quality), computed using the E Model defined in the ITU-T G.107 standard. The parameters starting with "emodel_" correspond to the parameters of the E model.

//
// Receives a VoIP stream generated by a SimpleVoIPSender, and records statistics.
// The most important statistic is MOS (Mean Opinion Score, a value between 1 
// and 5, representing a human user's view of the voice quality), computed using 
// the E Model defined in the ITU-T G.107 standard. The parameters starting with
// "emodel_" correspond to the parameters of the E model.
// 
// The E Model was originally developed within ETSI as a transmission planning tool,
// described in ETSI technical report ETR 250, and then standardized by the ITU as G.107.
// The objective of the model was to determine a quality rating that incorporated the
// "mouth to ear" characteristics of a speech path.
//
// The playout delay, buffer space, the UDP port to listen on, and other input 
// can be specified in module parameters.
