Source notes citing this source

• Wireshark's RTP bandwidth figure is measured at the IP level: all octets including IP and UDP headers (20+8 bytes) of the stream's packets over the last second. in context
• Wireshark needs the sampling clock rate to calculate jitter correctly, which makes jitter for dynamic payload types unreliable unless the rate can be learned, for example from the SDP. in context
• Wireshark computes RTP jitter using the RFC 3550 section 6.4.1 interarrival jitter estimator, J(i) = J(i-1) + (|D(i-1,i)| - J(i-1))/16, where D compares arrival-time spacing with RTP-timestamp spacing. in context
