  4. P2P = peer-to-peer HR = host-remote Example set of network requirements Note: Most of the power performance requirements were summarized from IEEE Std 1646-2004 Table-3. ITU-T specifies VoIP latency standards. Per discussion on 1/17/2008 with Dennis Holstein (considered US Expert to several international standards bodies), IEEE Std 1646-2004 is the latest published work on power communication performance. However, as the IUN matures, these requirements could change.
