[AG-TECH] query re: delay

[Alan Sondheim]

You're right about the breakup. It's less when we go to the Test Room 
since I'm using a smaller bandwidth. I'm on a PIG/DSL, so there are 
uploading issues. The odd thing is the length of the delay, which was 
really fantastic. I'll check on the Reception of course and thanks (and 
thanks to everyone who replied).

I think that VIC does this too, but no so aggressively, hence the difference between audio and video delays.  I am guessing that you see lots of breaking up of the video which would show that it is having to throw away lots of late packets.
