yes exactly. LQE is Listen Quality Emodel (E-model is parametric model
which takes into account some more parameters. I've used static
parameters except for loss and burstiness. So if your network is
stable and you want to measure MOS, there is no way how to do that on
unknown samples. You can do only automated tests.

yes, P.862 (PESQ) compare two samples. Original and degraded (and
about 20 seconds). P.563 does not need original sample and can predict
only degraded sample (only about 20 seconds). It cannot analyze  whole
conversation. Both methods is suited for automated tests with specific
samples. These objective methods compare new codecs, transmittion path
etc. etc.. It will never work as real live passive monitoring. I've
used P.862 to calibrate MOS-LQE.
