Do you mean G.723.1? Let's put aside that some people do not
consider G.723.1 to be toll-quality. Ignoring that, I would
call your 5-6 kbps number to be compression rather than
statistical multiplexing. The voice packets still come out
periodically every 30ms or so. The only significant statistical
multiplexing you get with voice is due to silence suppression.
Also, how do you actually achieve 5-6 kbps when you
consider the IP overhead?
