Wireshark is correct. 64 Kbps is the bandwidth of the G.711 payloads
inside the RTP packets.
81.6 Kbps is the bandwidth of the RTP packets themselves.

Hi, all:

  I'm using wireshark to capture VOIP streams, the Codec used in the
VOIP
session is G711, which uses bandwidth of 64kbps.

  When I follow the following steps to analyse the VOIP streams:

  Telephony->RTP->show all streams->Analyze,

  I found that the IP BW (bandwidth) column shows that the bandwidth is
about 81.6 kbps.   I also used a traffic monitoring program to monitor
the
traffic, which shows the bandwidth used is about 64kbps (conformant to
G711
bit rate ). So, I wonder whether wireshark is accurate in measuring the
bandwidth? or even other metrics such as jitter,etc..

  Thank you!
