Which is better, G.723 or G.729 ?

  • G.711 has a Mean Opinion Score of 4.3-4.7 and uses 80 kpbs (if you send 50 packets/second with 20 ms of RTP payload per packet) or 74.7 kbps (@ 30 ms, meaning 33.3 packets/second).
  • G.729 (NOT G.729a) has a MOS of 3.9-4.2 and uses 24 kbps @ 20 ms or 18.7 kbps @ 30 ms.
  • G.729a has a MOS of 3.7-4.2 and uses 24 kbps @ 20 ms or 18.7 kbps @ 30 ms.
  • G.723 has a MOS of 3.8-4.0 and uses 17.1 kbps @ 30 ms.
MOS is what nontechnical people think about each codec (5.0 is perfect). All of the above numbers are in EACH direction, so total bandwidth is double the above figures. As you can see, there is very little quality or bandwidth difference betweeen G.729a and G.723. However, G.729a can send 50 packets/second, each packet containing 20 ms of voice payload. G.723's lowest setting is 30 ms. I think 20 ms sounds better than 30 ms because of smoothing (used to fill in for late packets). It would be a very good idea to turn on silence suppression ('Silence Supp Enable' = 'yes'), because it will reduce your bandwidth usage by 65%. (Apparently each person in a two-person conversation only talks about 1/3 of the time.) There is also the issue of transcoding. Whenever one lossy codec is decompressed and then transcoded into another lossy codec, voice quality always gets worse, so you want to avoid transcoding. I've read that G.729 is commonly used for overseas calls, so if your adapter compresses your voice using G.729 and then your long distance provider decompresses your voice and then recompresses it using G.729, no voice quality is lost. Transcoding is especially noticeable in cell-to/from-VoIP calls, so if your adapter supports GSM (SNOM does) and you choose it as your default codec, your voice quality will be better when calling GSM cell phones. Finally, I've tried VoIP over dialup, and it's no fun, because of dial-up's high latency and jitter. It seems like there should be a Nextel-style "push to talk" adapter/software for high jitter VoIP connections (like satellite and 802.11 mesh networks), but I don't know of any. However, my test was before Sipura added the 'Network Jitter Level' = 'extremely high' setting. That setting might be enough to make a VoIP over dialup conversation workable if you're willing to take turns talking and say 'over' when you're done talking.
