Introduction

VoIP – revolutionary technology

Its purpose: analog audio to digital signals conversion

Main Benefits: cost-effective and portability

Historical Background

Dates back as far as 1973 Available for end-users in the 1990’s Examples of the first VoIP services include:

– Vocaltec Internet Phone Release 4 (1996)– Level 3 (1997)

Problems in Vocaltec resolved in Level 3

How Does VoIP Work?

Different than standard telephony systems Use of packet-switching instead of circuit switching Data split into packets and sent through many

connections Packets contain destination address and a sequence

number Packets are compressed and de-compressed

through CODECs which have sampling algorithms.

How Does VoIP Work? (Cont’d)

VoIP makes use of Media Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers

Three different types of VoIP services:– Analog Telephone Adaptors– IP Phones– Computer-to-Computer

Requirements:– Broadband Internet Connection (Cable, DSL, T1, T3, etc)– VoIP box– VoIP subscriber’s account– Wi-fi enabled phone (if you want to make use of mobility)

Advantages of VoIP

Cost-effective and no geographical limits Mobility Use of existing networks Efficient utilization of bandwidth

Implementation Challenges

Like any emerging technology many challenges are faced.

Some of which have been overcome and some are not.

Page 10: VoIP -Voice over Internet Protocol COE 341 Self-Learning Assignment By: Ayman Al-Bassam 232101 Amar Farouk Merah 237925

Security and Privacy

Eavesdropping and packet interception. Continents could be altered. Compression makes it harder but not

completely safe. SRTP & ZRTP standards in PSTN and lack

of standards in VoIP. Some implementations, Skype. Easy to implement because of IP networks.

Page 11: VoIP -Voice over Internet Protocol COE 341 Self-Learning Assignment By: Ayman Al-Bassam 232101 Amar Farouk Merah 237925

Reliability of service

Depends on internet connection quality.

Power outage.

Page 12: VoIP -Voice over Internet Protocol COE 341 Self-Learning Assignment By: Ayman Al-Bassam 232101 Amar Farouk Merah 237925

Delays and Jitters

Packets and different routes !! Resulting jitter and delays in voice. Use of play-out buffers. Assigning priorities to packets.

Page 13: VoIP -Voice over Internet Protocol COE 341 Self-Learning Assignment By: Ayman Al-Bassam 232101 Amar Farouk Merah 237925

Emergency Calls Routing

The difficulty of assigning IP’s to geographical location.

Dynamic IP’s !! Registration process for some VoIP

providers.

Page 14: VoIP -Voice over Internet Protocol COE 341 Self-Learning Assignment By: Ayman Al-Bassam 232101 Amar Farouk Merah 237925

Integration with current PSTN

Numbers assigning system (E.164) Again hard to tie an IP to a specific locations. Some providers use the same E.164

standard (Skype).

Page 15: VoIP -Voice over Internet Protocol COE 341 Self-Learning Assignment By: Ayman Al-Bassam 232101 Amar Farouk Merah 237925

Legal issues

PSTN companies operated by governments. Different laws in different places i.e. India,

UAE and Europe.

Conclusion

Summing up VoIP is the future Has many advantages, but is not 100%

reliable yet
