Benefits of a VoIP Network More efficient use of bandwidth and equipment Lower transmission costs Consolidated network expenses Improved employee productivity through features

provided by IP telephony:IP phones are complete business communication devices.

Directory lookups and database applications (XML)Integration of telephony

into any business application

Software-based and wireless phones offer mobility.

Access to new communications devices (such as PDAs and cable set-top boxes)

Call Setup

Checks call-routing configuration

Determines bandwidth availability

If bandwidth is available, setup message is passed

If bandwidth is not available, busy signal is generated

Call Maintenance

Tracks quality parameters:

Packet loss

Jitter

Delay

Maintains or drops call based on connection quality

Call Teardown

Notifies devices to free resources

Resources are made available to subsequent calls

Self Check

1. Which type of call control uses a call agent to route the call?

2. What is a DSP?

3. Name 3 types of analog interfaces used at gateways.

4. What are the 3 components of basic call control?

5. What phase of call control involves determining if bandwidth is available to place the call?

Summary The benefits of a VoIP network include more efficient

use of network bandwidth and equipment, lower cost and consolidated expenses.

Legacy analog and VoIP applications and devices can coexist.

The 3 stages of a VoIP call include call setup, call maintenance, and call teardown.

VoIP can be deployed in a centralized or distributed environment.
