Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for compensating for variable delays in the communication of packet data to a receiving station during, for example, a VOIP (Voice-Over-Internet Protocol) communication session. Compensation is made for surges of data received at the receiving station subsequent to a congestion condition. A jitter buffer and a trimming buffer are both utilized to buffer data packets thereat. The data buffered at the trimming buffer is selectably trimmed in a manner to permit the informational content of the data received at the receiving station to be recovered without introducing significant delay times in the recovery of the informational content.
