Abstract
This document describes the RTP payload format for Enhanced Variable
Rate Codec (EVRC) Speech and Selectable Mode Vocoder (SMV) Speech.
Two sub-formats are specified for different application scenarios. A
bundled/interleaved format is included to reduce the effect of packet
loss on speech quality and amortize the overhead of the RTP header
over more than one speech frame. A non-bundled format is also
supported for conversational applications.
