• RFC 5481 defines IPDV as each packet's one-way delay minus the previous packet's delay, and PDV as each packet's delay minus the minimum delay in the measurement interval. in context
• RFC 5481 recommends PDV, not IPDV, for sizing de-jitter buffers. in context
• RFC 5481 states that the RTCP interarrival jitter value can be calculated from IPDV singletons. in context
• The RTCP jitter figure is a smoothed IPDV-style average and should not be read directly as the jitter buffer depth a stream needs. inferred in context
