MAX_REFIFO_TIME

The MAX_REFIFO_TIME parameter specifies a maximum value in milliseconds beyond which the Re-FIFO timer cannot increase. In some situations, setting this maximum value (rather than letting the timer value be calculated by the RTP protocol) can improve performance. Setting a value of 0 means that the timer is not limited and can take any value calculated by the RTP protocol.

The RTP protocol uses a timer called the Re-FIFO Timer. The value of the timer is calculated as part of the protocol, but MAX_REFIFO_TIME specifies a maximum value in milliseconds, beyond which the timer cannot increase. In some situations, setting this maximum value can improve performance.

Setting a value of 0 means that the timer is not limited and can take any value calculated by the protocol. The minimum value is 250 milliseconds, with a default value of 4000 milliseconds. If the specified value is 1–249 milliseconds, a value of 250 milliseconds is used.
