Who can give me information about the dimensioning of receiving FIFO depth of commercial settopboxes. I am especially interested in STB attached to DSL lines, not to sattelite.
Currently I have information the FIFO can accomodate traffic corresponding 100 ms.

Rationale : when video traffic(e.g. MPEG2) is sent in bursty way from DSLAM to CPE (i.e. STB), the receiving FIFO in the STB can get overflowed and video information is lost.

Thanks in advance.
