G.726
Standard for a codec.
G.726 delivers a good voice quality. It is inferior to the quality with codec G.711 but better
than with G.729.
G.729A/B
Standard for a codec.
The voice quality is more likely to be lower with G.729A/B. As a result of the high level of
compression, the necessary bandwidth is only around 8 kbit/s per voice connection, but
the delay is around 15 ms.
