1. A computer usable medium having control logic therein for causing a computer to manage jitter within packets exchanged between a packet switched network and the public switched telephone network, said control logic comprising:
computer readable program code that causes the computer to handle the traffic from the packet-switched network to the public switched telephone network; and
computer readable program code that causes the computer to manage the jitter of said traffic, wherein the computer adjusts an adaptive buffer to regulate the flow of data packets, wherein a size of the adaptive buffer is determined based on jitter measurement for a message currently being processed, an average jitter of a set of received data packets and the average jitter variation of the set of received data packets.
