One aspect of the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for setting the size of a variable buffer. The method in one embodiment includes setting the initial size of the buffer to zero, reading messages into and out of the buffer, and increasing the average depth of the variable buffer, if underflow occurs. In another embodiment, the method includes repeatedly reading messages and increasing the average depth of the buffer if underflow occurs, until the average depth of the buffer converges to a point to produce a substantially low delay in message transmissions while substantially reducing the possibility of future underflows due to packet delay variation.
