Abstract
A system improves reconstruction of real-time data in a packetized network. The system includes the following elements. A play-out buffer receives packets from the network. A playback element, coupled with the play-out buffer, retrieves packets from the play-out buffer and outputs data for the reconstruction of real-time data. A time adjuster alters the rate at which the data is output in accordance with the availability of the packets.
