I cannot comment on 1.4 as we are still not even close to implementing 
it.  In the case of out-of-order packets, you are correct.  Our solution 
does not fix that.  But it does fix jitter better than any other 
solution up to 1.2.  Out-of-order packets are much harder to come by 
than regular 30-60ms jitter which we do find on at least 30% of 
international calls.

I cannot remember doing testing in 1.2, but since there wasn't a readily 
available jitter buffer for SIP in Asterisk 1.2 we continued using our 
solution.  When we get ready for 1.4 we will start all over again with 
our testing to see if the new jitter buffer is as good as what we can 
get with the ZAP timers.
