Hi, probably a dumb question, but Max Laier and I could not find any guidance on this in the qspec draft: I guess that the TMOD-1 r parameter in draft-ietf-nsis-qspec-20 specifies the number of bytes/s for IP packets, including any IP headers. Now consider a mobile node that adds extra overhead to its data packets due to the mobility headers etc. This could be significant for VoIP packets. So in this case the applications has to increase r depending on the packet rate and m must be increased, too? As another example: if the application communicates via IPv4 it has to specify for a normal PCM codec VoIP traffic: r=50*(20+8+12+160)=10,000 bytes/s [packet every 20ms,IP+UDP+RTP+payload], m=200 bytes, b= 2000 bytes, p=very high (allowing a burst of 10 packets) and when communication via IPv6 r=50*(40+8+12+160)=11,000 bytes/s, m=220 bytes, b= 2200 bytes Is this correct? Would it make sense to provide a little guidance on this and an example in the QSPEC? Regards, Roland
