The overhead from packet headers to send data every 40ms is 9.6kbps, is the difference between 12.6Kbps and 17.6Kbps meaningful at that point? We are sending the same number of packets, likely with the same packet loss rate.

A Raspberry Pi Zero can't run Lyra, as the proprietary math kernel is only offered in compiled form for x86-64 and android-arm64: https://github.com/google/lyra#license

It is when you are sending video as well. One of the stated purposes of this work is to enable video conferencing over 56Kbps dial up modems.

How annoying! Still - the point is that hardware capability isn't likely to be the issue.


It is mentioned in other comments that the math kernel will be opened.
