Network Jitter Calculator

Calculate average delay and jitter from 5 packet delay samples. Determine if jitter is acceptable for VoIP and real-time communications.

How to Use the Jitter Calculator

  1. Enter 5 consecutive packet delay measurements in milliseconds.
  2. Click Calculate to get average delay and jitter.
  3. Check if jitter is acceptable for your use case.

Casos de Uso

Fórmula

Average delay = Σ delays / 5. Jitter = Σ |delay_i − avg| / 5. Acceptable for VoIP if jitter < 30 ms.

Perguntas Frequentes

What is jitter?
Jitter is the variation in packet arrival times. High jitter causes choppy audio in VoIP and video calls.
What is acceptable jitter for VoIP?
Under 30ms is generally acceptable. Under 20ms is recommended for high quality voice calls.
How do I reduce jitter?
Use QoS prioritization, dedicated voice VLANs, wired connections instead of Wi-Fi, and jitter buffers at endpoints.
