Packet Streams
Understand that when someone talks on an ICE channel, they produce a stream of packets. Those packets contain voice data encoded ('compressed," if you will) with a CODEC (COder/DECoder). The output from the coder is chopped up into blocks (we call them "frames") of audio, and sent out on the network. In any voice conversation, there will always be at least one stream of packets.
