INTRODUCTIONØThe traditional method used for
transmitting voice is PSTN.
ØNow more and more communication is done in digital format and transported via data networks such as internet.
ØAs data traffic is much faster than telephone traffic, so we prefer to send voice over data networks.

WHAT IS VOIP?
ØVoice Over Internet protocol (VoIP) is a protocol used for the transmission of voice and fax phone calls through the Internet or other packet-switched networks.
ØIt is also called IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband, broadband telephony.

HISTORY OF VOIP
• The commercial Voipsoftware was introduced in 1995 by Vocaltec.
ØDesigned for home PCØUses H.323 Protocol

PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK
• POTS (Analog Telephony) It stands for Plain Old Telephone
Service.ØDedicated link between partnersØReserved bandwidth
• ISDN (Digital Telephony) It stands for Integrated Services Digital
Network.
ØOn each link a channel is reserved

PSTN vs. INTERNET PSTN
• Voice networks use circuit switching.
• Dedicated path between calling and Called party.
• Bandwidth is reserved in advance.
• Cost is based on distance and time.
INTERNET • Data network use
packet switching. • No dedicated path
between sender and receiver.
• It acquires and releases bandwidth, as it is needed.
• Cost is not dependent on time and distance.

vHere analog signal is converted into digital data. Three popular audio codecs :-
G.711
G.723.1
G.729
vImplemented using voice coders: Since voice contains lot of data, it is compressed by Vocoders without compromising the reliability and quality of voice signal.
AUDIO CODECS:AUDIO CODECS:

• Translation of analog signal to digital signal

RTP• It stands for Realtime Transport
Protocol.• Application layer protocol for
transmitting real time data (audio, video, ...)
• Includes payload type identification, sequence numbering, time stamping, delivery monitoring.
DATA TRANSPORT (RTP, RTCP)DATA TRANSPORT (RTP, RTCP)
03/27/09 18
RTCP• It stands for Realtime Transport Control Protocol.
• Main functions:–support for multi-point communication
–Periodic transmission of control packets to all participants in the session.
03/27/09 19
• Here phone no. is converted to an IP address.
• Simple format addresing: <user | phone number>@<domain |
hostname | IP address>
ADDRESSINGADDRESSING

• Signaling in VOIP is needed for :ØLocating partners.ØAgreeing on port numbers for RTP /
RTCP sessions.Øagreeing on coding / decoding procedures.
• Types of Signaling Protocols:H.323SIP
SIGNALINGSIGNALING
03/27/09 21
H.323• Recommendation published by
ITU in 1996.
• It is designed to act above transport layer and is mainly used for transmission of voice, data and video conferencing over packet networks.
03/27/09 22
SIP• SIP stands for Session Initiation
Protocol.• Developed by IETF since 1999.
• It is an text-based application-layer control protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants.
• Sessions include Internet Multimedia conferences or Internet

How VoIP Works?
03/27/09 24
ADVANTAGES:• Cheaper call rates• Simplification• High efficiency• Calling person need not
necessary to receive call.• Better Voice Quality Using
Wideband Codecs• Adding new features and
applications over time is easy.• Integration of voice, data, fax, video
is possible.

APPLICATONS• Real time applications:
Ø Telephony ( two-way)Ø Radio-TV Broadcast (one-way)
• Non-real time applications:Ø e_mail
OTHERS:• Integration of data,voice and fax• Video telephony• Enhanced teleconferencing• Used in Amateur Radio

COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS1: VONAGE
• founded in January 2001• about 130,000 customers

2: AT&T AT&T is rapidly evolving
from a company that handles mostly long-distance voice calls to a company that provides data and voice communications over any distance.

CONCLUSION●Like everything else, as the technology
changes so at first only a few companies like Cisco and Lucent offered VoIP services, but the large telecommunications carriers – such as AT&T and Sprint -- are catching on .
●VoIP is predominately used for personal instead of enterprise-wide use.
● The availability of high-quality audio using wideband codecs, video conferencing, and document sharing enables more effective and pleasant communication.
