ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and systems for improving VoIP quality in speech and similar communications. More specifically, various lower limits for network performance may be identified and in the event that the communication network begins performing below the lower limits a buffered conversation may be employed in an attempt to improve conversation quality.
