iLBC is a low-bit rate, narrowband codec that withstands high packet loss. iLBC
delivers speech quality better than G.729 and G.723.1 and is resilient against
packet loss compared to other low-bit-rate codecs. It operates at 13.3 kbps (30
ms frames) and 15.2 kbps (20 ms frames), and delivers substantially better
voice quality than other low-bit narrowband codec over congested networks with
packet loss.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
