+
+; This option defines the maximum payload in bytes an IAX2 trunk can support at a given time.
+; The best way to explain this is to provide an example.  If the maximum number of calls
+; to be supported is 200, and each call transmits 40ms frames of audio using uncompressed
+; 16bit signed linear ((8000hz / 1000ms) * 2 bytes = 640 bytes per frame), the maximum load
+; in bytes is (640 bytes per frame) * (200 calls) = 128000 bytes total. Once this limit is
+; reached, calls may be dropped or begin to loose audio.  Depending on the codec in use and
+; number of channels to be supported this value may need to be raised, but in most cases the
+; default value is large enough.
+;
+; trunkmaxsize = 128000 ; defaults to 128000 bytes, which supports up to 200 calls of 16 bit
+;                       ; signed linear audio at 40ms a frame.
+
+; With a large amount of traffic on IAX2 trunks, there is a risk of bad voice quality when
+; allowing the Linux system to handle fragmentation of UDP packets. Depending on the size of
+; each payload, allowing the O/S to handle fragmentation may not be very efficient. This
+; setting sets the maximum transmission unit for IAX2 UDP trunking. The default is 1240 bytes
+; which means if a trunk's payload is over 1240 bytes for every 20ms it will be broken into
+; multiple 1240 byte messages.  Zero disables this functionality and let's the O/S handle
+; fragmentation.
+;
+; trunkmtu = 1240 ; trunk data will be sent in 1240 byte messages.
+
+; trunkfreq sets how frequently trunk messages are sent in milliseconds. This value is 20ms by
+; default, which means the trunk will send all the date queued to it in the past 20ms.  By
+; increasing the time between sending trunk messages, the trunk's payload size will increase as
+; well.  Note, depending on the size set by trunkmtu, messages may be sent more often than
+; specified.  For example if a trunk's message size grows to the trunkmtu size before 20ms is
+; reached that message will be sent immediately.
