Has anyone here ever had the occasion to setup a system that would dynamically alter it's codec preferences based on trafffic? That is, presuming that the system is on a limited bandwidth connection is would start to prefer a compressed codec as the call volume increased? Perhaps shifting from G.711 to G.729?

Maybe something like that could be done by using "set groups" and counting the number of calls, and at a specified threshold (i.e. 6 simultaneous calls) you`d specify g729 for new calls. Shifting an ongoing call might be impossible though.

What would happen if you "licensed" g711 for x calls and had g729 as an allowed, but not preferred codec?
