Extra information:

  • Packet Loss: If packets are lost during a call, the user will hear an audio drop or 'glitch'. In most scenarios, the packets are lost in the local network or internet connection from the customer.

  • MOS (Mean Opinion Score): A measure used to give a call a score. The MOS is expressed as a single rational number, typically in the range 1–5, where 1 is the lowest perceived quality, and 5 is the highest perceived quality. VoIP calls often are in the 3.5 to 4.2 MOS range. The following chart can be used as a guide for VoIP MOS testing and a good comparison for voice quality:
