How it works

L16 uses two bytes per channel sample. Add 12+4×CSRC bytes for RTP, 8 for UDP, and a basic IPv4 or IPv6 header.

One millisecond of 48 kHz stereo is 192 payload bytes and a 232-byte basic IPv4 packet.

Limits

No RTP extensions, padding, encryption, IP options, extension headers or link-layer overhead. MTU fit is arithmetic, not a path measurement.
