[CELT-dev] celtclient 64kbps more than expected

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi Paul,

I think the issue you're seeing here is simply the overhead of the IP
(20 bytes) and UDP (8 bytes) headers (plus our 8-byte timestamp/header).
With a frame size of 256 at 48 kHz, you send 188 packets/sec, which
means about 45 kbit/s of header overhead. Depending on how you're
measuring, you may be seeing the Ethernet overhead of something like
that. All I can assure you is that when you ask CELT for 43 bytes, this
is *exactly* what you receive. Does that explain the numbers you have?

Cheers,

	Jean-Marc
