Vonage Well, I guess their reasoning is that latency on voice calls is bad, and they want
Well, I guess their reasoning is that latency on voice calls is bad, and they want to minimize it at all costs. If you want a protocol that can handle retransmissions, you automatically triple the latency.
You have to (1) detect that the packet is late, then (2) send a retransmit request back to the sender, then (3) do the retransmission.
Meanwhile, the next voice packets are still arriving, and they can't be played back until after the retransmitted packet arrives, because they must be played in order. If the stream ever stops getting lossy, you still have the problem that the receiver is running a few packets behind, so the receiver either has to drop some packets, or play them back at an accelerated rate.
This is really all in place to avoid latency. Real PSTN phone calls have very little latency, and people have come to expect that for domestic calls.
