Traditional Digital Hierarchy
64 kbps (DS0) is the fundamental building block
DS1 (T1) carries 24 DS0s in 1.544 MbpsDS3 (T3) carries 28 T1s in ~45 MbpsOC1 carries 3 T3s on ~150 Mbps
Data speeds have been adapted to fit into this hierarchy

Voice VariablesThree distinct functions may or may not be used:
CompressionCould packetize 64 kbps PCMBut usually implies a more efficient coding scheme
PacketizingSame low-bit-rate algorithms can be used over a dedicated connectionVoIP is always packetized
Silence Suppression
