Summary

This ITU‑T Recommendation specifies the maximum network limits of jitter and wander that shall not be exceeded and the minimum equipment tolerance to jitter and wander that shall be provided at any relevant transport or synchronization interfaces which are based on the 2048 kbit/s hierarchy.

The requirements for the jitter and wander characteristics that are specified in this ITU‑T Recommendation must be adhered to in order to ensure interoperability of equipment produced by different manufacturers and a satisfactory network performance.
