What is VoIP?
• VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), sometimes referred to as Internet telephony, is a method of digitizing voice, encapsulating the digitized voice into packets and transmitting those packets over a packet switched IP network.
![Page 3: Voice over IP Preparing your campus for convergence](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562c172d8b42aaf178b4b72/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Voice over IP - the basics
• Most implementations use H.323 protocol– Same protocol that is used for IP video.– Uses TCP for call setup– Traffic is actually carried on RTP (Real Time
Protocol) which runs on top of UDP.
![Page 4: Voice over IP Preparing your campus for convergence](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562c172d8b42aaf178b4b72/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
VoIP Protocols
• H.323 Multimedia Standard– H.225 RAS - Registration, Admission, Status– Q.931 - Call Signaling (Setup & Termination)– H.245 - Call Control (Preferences, Flow
Control, etc.)– Lots of G.7XX CODECS for audio
• SIP – Session Initialization Protocol– Covered in next presentation

Codec ITU G.728
• ITU-T recommendation G.728 Annex G is the fixed-point version of the coding of speech at 16kbps using Low Delay Code Excited Linear Prediction (LD-CELP). It uses backward adaptation of predictors and gain to achieve an algorithmic delay of 0.625 ms. Under error-free transmission conditions the perceived quality of a 16 kbit/s LD-CELP codec is equivalent to that of a codec conforming to 32 kbit/s ADPCM. The codec is suitable for applications such as VoIP.

GIPS
• GIPS Enhanced G.711 - G.711 with GIPS developed enhancement providing superior packet loss robustness. GIPS Enhanced G.711 consists of the G.711 codec combined with an enhancement to provide packet loss robustness. Call setup is done with G.711 and the enhancement is detected and activated after call setup if both end points have the enhancement. The enhancement unit works similarly to an encryption method. The packets are transcoded to provide packet loss robustness instead of privacy. A SoundWare solution with GIPS Enhanced G.711 in combination with NetEQ™ provides a PSTN speech quality level at packet loss/delay rates up to 10%. This is achieved without increasing the bit rate, and without significant increases in latency and complexity.

Notes on Table
• All codecs are voice-band and run at an 8kHz sampling rate, except for G.722 which has a 7kHz bandwidth and 16kHz sample rate
• * These rates are nominal due to utilization of silence compression schemes
• G.711 and G.722 are provided free of charge with G.728 if required for H.320
• Algorithmic delay of "non-predictive" codecs is effectively zero

Matching PSTN Quality

Better Than PSTN Quality

VOIP Codecs - bandwidth vs. Quality
• The tradeoffs:– How much do you need (quality)?– How much can you afford?– How much coding delay can you tolerate?– Do you have special needs?

Issues with VoIP
• Firewalls
• NAT
• QoS
• Network Testing
![Page 53: Voice over IP Preparing your campus for convergence](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562c172d8b42aaf178b4b72/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
VoIP Issues – Firewalls
• A set of security mechanisms than an organization implements to prevent unsecured access from the outside world to its internal network.
• Typically work by blocking access of certain network protocols to specific ports.
![Page 54: Voice over IP Preparing your campus for convergence](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562c172d8b42aaf178b4b72/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
VoIP Issues – NAT
• Helps protect the intranet from exposure to unwanted traffic by providing one single external address to remote users.
• Translates local intranet addresses into an external address.
• Remote users connect to this external address to connect to the local user, without actually knowing its local address.

Issues with Firewalls and NAT
• H.323 requires the use of specific static ports for RAS messages, and a number of dynamic ports for RTP.
• SIP has one port (5060) for SIP messages, as well as dynamic ports for RTP.
• For these protocols to pass the firewall, the specific static and the range of dynamic ports must be opened for all traffic.

Voice Over IP - the reasons that we have all heard!
• Perception– It is cheaper to run just one network.– It is easier to integrate advanced technology
when your phone is on the network (CTI).– If you don’t do it someone else will.
• Reality– Convergence will occur some day so it is
important that we build the required relationships now.

TCP/IP implementations
• Departmental VOIP PBX
• Centralized VOIP PBX
• Road warriors
• VOIP trunking– Intranet– Internet

VOIP decisions
• Power for VOIP phones
• E-911 mapping
• Which Codec to use

Parameters the impact VOIP- How much is to much?
• Packet loss
• Latency
• Jitter

QoS issues
• QoS has been added to the H.245 OLC packets to allow endpoints to set QoS parameters for the media streams, including RSVP parameters. H.323 only communicates QoS information between H.323 devices. Actual reservation and control of resources is outside the scope of the standard.

QoS options
• Prioritize by Application
• Prioritize by Address - many applications
• Create separate VLANs
