Abstract
VoIP is gaining acceptance into the corporate world especially, in small and medium sized business that want to save cost for gaining advantage over their competitors. The good voice quality is one of challenging task in deployment plan because VoIP voice quality was affected by packet loss and jitter delay. In this paper, we study the effect of background traffic packet size to voice quality. The background traffic was generated by Bricks software and the speech quality was assessed by MOS. The obtained result shows an interesting relationship between the voice quality and the number of TCP packets and their size. With the same amount of data smaller packets affect the voice’s quality more than the larger packet.
