This standard specifies the audio (voice) codes that are to be used in the provisioning of bi-directional audio services over cable television distribution networks using IP technology (i.e., IPCablecom service). The standard also addresses interfaces between IPCablecom client devices for audio communication. Specifically, it identifies the audio codecs necessary to provide the highest quality and the most resource-efficient service delivery to the customer. Additionally, this document describes a suggested methodology for optimal network support for codecs.
