Abstract
Various of the disclosed embodiments improve encoding during a network call, such as a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) connection, by adjusting the size of a data communications packet (“packet”). Particularly, given a corpus of codecs with which to encode data, the embodiments may identify a packet size based upon a common multiple of each codec's minimum raw data size. The packet size may be selected to accommodate the inclusion of data encoded in each codec format, as well as error correction code data, and codec transition commands. The packet size may be tailored to trade off measured latency and data efficiency.
