encryption and call rate -

[scameron1]

when an endpoint has encryption enabled does the encryption utilize significant bandwidth?   If so does it sit 'inside' the parameters set in the the VCSC or 'ride on top' ?

ie - if the VCSC is set for a subzone max call rate of 768k does the encryption eat part of the BW within that setting   

[Nicholas Thompson]

Encryption and call rate are not correlated or connected.  A 768kbps call is still a 768kbps call regardless of the packet content being encrypted or not.  

The only overhead involved is directly on the devices that need to encrypt/decrypt the information which is processing overhead.
