 INTRODUCTION

You may have heard of VoIP—that it’s the future of

telephone service and
-That you can save a lot of money using it.

3 10/15/08
 But what exactly it is??

4 10/15/08
 Very simply, VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is the
technology that allows us to have phone service over the
Internet.
 VoIP may be a new term for you, but the technology isn’t
new.
 The telephone companies, who use what is referred to as
the public switched telephone network (PSTN), have
been employing VoIP technology for years.

5 10/15/08
  Voice-over-IP is a term/technology used in IP
telephony for a facilities that manages the delivery of
voice information using the Internet Protocol.
 In general, this means sending voice information in
digital packets rather than in the traditional circuit-
committed protocols of PSTN.
 Yet today, VoIP is becoming a viable solution for
mainstream consumers—both businesses and
individuals.

 IP TELEPHONY OVERVIEW

 Scalable, Flexible & Reliable

 – Server-based (cluster) Technology
 • Combines Voice, Data & Video
 – Utilizes LAN/WAN Infrastructure
 – Ethernet IP Phones
 • Cheaper to Install and Manage
 • Significant Reduction of Public Telephone
 Network Usage.

 So why would you want it?
 The most obvious answer is to save money.
 VoIP acts as a bridge between your Internet
connection and the PSTN.
 Allowing you to have phone service without requiring
an account with the phone company.
 That, coupled with VoIP’s unique pricing model,
means that users can often cut their long-distance
calling expenses dramatically.

1. Strategic business improvements

 More efficient operations
 New features and capabilities

2. Cost savings
 Long distance toll savings
 Converged network and lower maintenance

 HOW DOES VOIP WORKS??

11 10/15/08
 VOIP

 VoIP works by taking analog signals and converting

them to digital data that can be sent over a network
—the Internet in most cases, also any private
network.
 It requires that you have a broadband network
connection, the necessary items to create that
broadband connection—
 a broadband modem, your computer, a router, etc.—
and a device to convert the data.

 WAYS TO TALK ON VOIP!!

Through a web interface:

 That allows you to make calls from your computer
(assuming you have a sound card).
 And using a VoIP phone or headset (devices that
allow you to bypass your computer entirely and link
directly to your Internet connection).

 PROTOCOLS

 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

 H.323
 Megaco(H.248)
 Skinny Client Control Protocol
 MiNET
 IAX
 Skype

16 10/15/08
 H.323 Features

 H.323 and SIP are the peer-to-peer protocols for IP

networks
 Private numbering plan and/or E.164
 Separate directory service to get number from name
 Can supply name for display purposes

17 10/15/08
 – H.323 has some features - H.450.x
– Generally the most important ones, e.g., transfer,
diversion, call completion

 SIP FEATURES

– SIP is an application-layer control (signalling)

protocol for creating, modifying and terminating
sessions with one or more participants.

– Sessions include Internet Multimedia,

conferences, Internet Telephone calls and
Multimedia distribution.

– Provides toolkit (methods, headers) from which

features can be assembled

Call transfer, history information (for call
diversion), presence, instant messaging under
study.

21 10/15/08
 Is VoIP secure?

 VoIP is actually more secure than traditional PSTN

calls, but because it uses the Internet to transfer
data.
- It faces the same kind of security issues as
other Internet applications. In other words,
you need to take the same security precautions with
your VoIP system that you’d take to protect your
network.

 CONCLUSIONS

– Evolution of the voice network is important to

many enterprises
– Traditional and IP networks will continue to co-
exist in the enterprise
– Exploitation of new services and applications in IP
network
– But needs to be complemented by extending
existing services to IP and mixed environments
