Abstract
The number of unprocessed packets accumulating at a point in a periodically sampled packet switching network carrying encoded voice information are counted and when the number of such unprocessed packets reaches a threshhold, or when the periodic sampling fails to detect the presence of a packet containing voice information a predetermined number of times, some of the packets, up to 20%, are discarded.
