Hi,

Jitter is jitter, whatever the direction.
It’s the (short term) difference between declared packet timing and the actual packet timing.
In the receive direction it can be the result of the transmission path taken.
In the transmit direction it can be the result of the non-real time behaviour of the packet generator.

Thanks,
Jaap

The capture has been taken at the FreeSwitch server and not the SBC.  If I run an RTP stream analysis, it shows me all the RTP streams that are in the capture.  I am specifically looking at one stream which has the source address as the FreeSwitch Server and the destination as the SBC, so in my view, this is an outbound stream.

I though jitter can only be calculated for inbound streams?  What is jitter on an outbound stream?  Can this high value be ignored and not be the source of poor outbound audio quality?
