An apparatus, method, and computer program product for replacing a lost packet in a sequence of packets, where each packet including samples of a signal, preferably a voice signal. The method includes the steps of generating a fill packet, selecting from a packet that is adjacent to the lost packet a portion that is adjacent to the lost packet, selecting from the fill packet a portion that is adjacent to the adjacent packet, and replacing the selected portion of the fill packet with a weighted average of the selected portion of the fill packet and a reflection of the selected portion of the adjacent packet.

A “Burst Ratio” is defined for use as a measure of the burstiness of a packet-based network. One illustrative implementation of the Burst Ratio (R) is where R is equal to the ratio of the average length of observed bursts in a packet arrival sequence over the average length of bursts expected for a random loss packet-based network. Another illustrative implementation of the Burst Ratio (R) is in the context of a 2-state Markov model, wherein R=1/(1+α−β), and α is the probability of losing packet n if packet n−1 was found (i. e. , the probability of losing the next packet if the current packet was received) and β represents the probability of losing packet n if packet n−1 was lost (i. e. , the probability of losing the next packet if the current packet was lost).
